PNNL: single-crystal nickel-rich cathode holds promise for next-generation Li-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

High-energy nickel (Ni)–rich cathode will play a key role in advanced lithium (Li)–ion batteries, but it suffers from moisture sensitivity, side reactions, and gas generation. volts—minimizes damage while still within the normal range of lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles. —Bi et al.

Li-ion battery waste used in biodiesel production from discarded vegetable oil

Green Car Congress

Brazilian researchers have demonstrated a new chemical approach for producing biodiesel from domestic cooking oil waste by using lithium hydroxide mixed with either sodium hydroxides or potassium hydroxides as catalysts. The work marks one of the first times lithium has been used for such purposes. —Gilberto Maia de Brito.

WSU, PNNL researchers develop viable sodium battery

Green Car Congress

Although O3-layered metal oxides are promising cathode materials for high-energy Na-ion batteries, they suffer from fast capacity fade. However, the nickel rich O3-NaTMOs suffer from irreversible phase transition at high voltage and limited cycle life, similar to their Li analogues, if not even worse.

Researchers call for integration of materials sustainability into battery research; the need for in situ monitoring

Green Car Congress

Although estimates vary widely, the predicted penetration of lithium-ion technology into these large-volume markets could result in as much as a threefold increase of production for the cathode material, reaching nearly 400,000 tonnes per year by 2020. —Grey and Tarascon.
