Researchers Develop Higher Performance Li-Ion Electrode Materials Using Ultracentrifugal Processing

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the Naoi Laboratory at the Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology have used an in situ sol-gel process induced by ultra-centrifugal mechanical agitation to add an active material inside carbon for use as electrode materials in lithium-ion batteries to improve performance.

Update on Select Argonne Lab Activity with HEV and PHEV Li-ion Batteries

Green Car Congress

The manganese spinel system, Amine said, has excellent power capability—much better than any other existing lithium-ion system—allowing the possibility of designing small batteries, which could lead to significant cost reduction. but a 4.3V, the life of the battery is poor.

Altair Nanotechnologies Pursuing ARRA Funding for Grid Modernization

Green Car Congress

Of this amount, nearly 10 million tons of coal and 18 billion cubic feet of natural gas are used to effectively manage the stability of the US electricity grid—a process that produces more than 39 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions. So far these have been combined with positive electrodes from common lithium ion batteries.
