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.

Researchers develop optimal silicon disulfide production technology for solid-state batteries

Green Car Congress

The team’s findings from the silicon disulfide study were published as the cover article (open access) in the recent edition of the RSC Journal of Materials Chemistry A. ASSBs replace the liquid-state electrolytes that transfer ions between the anode and cathode with a solid less prone to fire or explosion. —Nam et al.

Purdue team uses pollen grains as basis for carbon architectures for Li-ion anodes

Green Car Congress

A team at Purdue University has used pollens as the basis for carbon architectures for anodes in energy storage devices. At a C/10 rate, the ACP (activated cattail pollen) electrode delivered high specific lithium storage reversible capacities (590 mAh/g at 50 °C and 382 mAh/g at 25 °C) and also exhibited excellent high rate capabilities.
