KERI researchers develop high-capacity Li-metal battery with improved rate performance and stability

Green Car Congress

A research team at Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute (KERI) has developed a high-capacity Li-metal battery with improved rate performance and stability using a one-dimensional Li-confinable porous hollow carbon host. However, these hosts suffer from unwanted Li growth on their surface (i.e., Kang et al.

Japanese start-up seeks to commercialize dual-carbon battery technology; anion intercalation

Green Car Congress

Start-up Power Japan Plus announced plans to commercialize a dual-carbon battery technology, which it calls the Ryden dual carbon battery. Dual-carbon (also called dual-graphite) batteries were first introduced by McCullough and his colleagues at Dow Chemical in a 1989 patent, and were subsequently studied by Carlin et al.

New Stanford prelithiation protocol enables pairing of Li-free electrode materials to make an advanced high-energy Li-ion battery

Green Car Congress

Schematic diagrams showing (a) the prelithiation of SiNWs on stainless steel (SS) foil, and (b) the internal electron and Li + pathways during the prelithiation. Researchers at Stanford University, led by Dr. Yi Cui, have developed a method for pre-lithiating a silicon nanowire (SiNW) anode for use in a Li-ion battery.
