Who Really Invented the Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery?

Cars That Think

Fifty years after the birth of the rechargeable lithium-ion battery, it’s easy to see its value. It was manufactured in small volumes by Exxon, appeared at an electric vehicle show in Chicago in 1977, and served briefly as a coin cell battery. Did Exxon invent the rechargeable lithium battery?

ANL researchers report photo-excitation can speed up Li-ion charging by factor of two

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have reported that a new photo-excitation mechanism can speed up the charging of lithium-ion batteries by a factor of two or more. A serious limitation [of lithium-ion batteries], however, is the slow charging rate used to obtain the full capacity.

RPI researchers develop safe, long-cycling Li-metal rechargeable battery electrode; demonstrate Li-carbon battery

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have developed a safe, extended cycling lithium-metal electrode for rechargeable Li-ion batteries by entrapping lithium metal within a porous graphene network (Li-PGN). This in turn significantly limits the rate capability of such batteries. Mukherjee et al.
