US Li-ion Battery Market for Energy Storage Systems 2015 Report with Forecasts to 2019
M2 - Thu Sep 10, 9:45AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/xkdwzb/liion_battery) has announced the addition of the "Li-ion Battery Market for Energy Storage Systems (ESS) in the US 2015-2019" report to their offering. US Li-ion battery market for ESS Expected to Grow at a CAGR of 24.9% Over the Period 2014-2019 Currently, the country is shifting away from a centralized power system to a distributed or decentralized generation system. The country is dependent on fossil fuels for energy generation. However, the long cycle of construction required for fossil fuel plants has increased the dependency on decentralized energy resources. Centralized power plants are located in remote locations far away from the residential areas to eliminate the effects of the hazardous emissions discharged by these plants. However, a drawback of centralized power plants is the huge electricity loss that takes place during power transmission. This has led to the emergence of decentralized power generation in the country, most of which generates power from renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar. Thus, with the increasing generation of energy from decentralized plants, there is likely to be a rise in the demand for ESS, thereby driving the demand for Li-ion batteries. According to the report, the demand for Li-ion batteries in grid energy storage has increased over the years because of greater fluctuations in the supply of and demand for electricity. The growth in renewable energy production, especially in wind and solar energy, in the recent past has led to increased need for grid energy storage. High initial investments and the high per unit cost of Li-ion for ESS makes investors reluctant to invest in Li-ion technologies, thereby hampering market growth. Key Topics Covered - Executive Summary - List of Abbreviations - Scope of the Report - Market Research Methodology - Market at a Glance - Introduction to Li-ion Batteries - Introduction - Market Landscape - Market Segmentation by Technology - Key Leading States - Buying Criteria - Market Growth Drivers - Drivers and their Impact - Market Challenges - Impact of Drivers and Challenges - Market Trends - Trends and their Impact - Vendor Landscape - Key Vendor Profile - Other Prominent Vendor Profiles Companies Mentioned - A123 Systems - AllCell Technologies - Altair Nanotechnologies - Boston Power - Build Your Dream - CODA Energy Holdings - Enerdel - K2 Energy - Kokam - LG Chem - Lithium Energy Japan - NEC Energy - Panasonice - S&C Electric - SAFT - Samsung SDI - Seeo - Valence For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/xk...on_battery

Global Quantum Dot (Display, Medical Devices, Batteries, Solar Cells, Sensors, and Others) Market 2015-2020
M2 - Mon Mar 09, 6:36AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/bkkhn6/quantum_dot) has announced the addition of the "Quantum Dot Market by Product, Material, Application, and Geography- Forecast up to 2020" report to their offering. The report provides a detailed view of the quantum dots market with regards to products, applications, and material market; and also presents a detailed market segmentation, with qualitative and quantitative analysis of each and every aspect of the segmentation; done by product, application, material and geography. Quantum dots or QD are tiny particles, better known as nanoparticles of a semiconductor material, traditionally, called chalcogenides (selenides or sulfides) of metals such as cadmium or zinc (CdSe or ZnS), which range from 2 to 10 nanometers in diameter (about the width of 50 atoms). Due to their small size, these particles possess unique optical and electrical properties that are different in character to those of the corresponding bulk materials. A quantum dot is a semiconductor material, whose excitons are confined in all three spatial dimensions (3D); such materials have electronic properties that are in between those of bulk semiconductors and discrete molecules. The most important feature of QD is that a manufacturer can change its size; and vary the intensity and color of light. It does not require other external materials to charge the device. The intensity of QD-based display depends on the structure of the QD. A large structure emits a greater intensity wave length, whereas a small dot ends up at the blue end of a spectrum. Also, larger dots are closer to the red end of a spectrum. Dots can be tuned beyond the visible light into the infrared or the ultra-violet. The ability to control the size of a quantum dot enables a manufacturer to determine the wavelength of the emission, which determines the color of light, which a human eye perceives. Quantum dots can be tuned during production to emit any color of light desired. The ability to control, or tune the emission from a quantum dot by changing its core size is called the size quantization effect. Major companies involved in the quantum dot market are QD Vision, Inc. (U.S.), Nanosys Inc. (U.S.), and Nanoco Group Plc. (U.K.) among many others. The overall quantum dot market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 63.23% from 2014 to 2020. The major application for the quantum dot market is the consumer application. The display product dominates the other product market with the highest percentage share in the quantum dot market. Key Topics Covered: 1 Introduction 2 Research Methodology 3 Executive Summary 4 Premium Insights 5 Market Overview 6 Industry Trend 7 Quantum Dots Processing Techniques 8 Quantum Dots Market, By Product Type 9 Quantum Dots Processing Techniques 10 Market, By Application 11 Geographic Analysis 12 Competitive Landscape 13 Company Profiles - Altair Nanotechnologies Inc. - Evident Technologies - Invisage Technologies Inc. - Nanoco Group Plc - Nanosys Inc. - Nn-Labs Llc - Ocean Nanotech Llc - QD Laser Inc. - QD Vision Inc. - Quantum Material Corporation For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/bk...uantum_dot
