NTU Smart Chip Tells the Health of a Battery
November 26, 2015 | NTUEstimated reading time: 4 minutes
The smart chip took Prof Yazami more than five years to develop and is now marketed by his start-up, KVI Pte Ltd. Working together with Prof Yazami on developing the smart chip platform at ERIAN is research scientist Mr Sohaib El Outmani.
KVI is now being incubated by NTU’s commercialisation arm, NTUitive. KVI is developing this chip into a series of products, which include battery packs for recharging mobile devices, charge gauge for electric vehicles, and a smart chip for every battery.
The start-up company has an exclusive license on Prof Yazami’s ETM technology which is based on his research done in NTU Singapore, California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS).
His research incorporates two other unique factors: entropy, a measure of disorder or randomness of a system, and enthalpy, which is the sum of internal energy of a system.
It is expected that the technology will be made available for licensing by chipmakers and battery manufacturers before the end of 2016.
