The Top 10 EV Battery Makers

Cars That Think

To have any shot, the United States alone may need 20 to 40 gigafactories over 15 years, with a combined terawatt of new battery capacity, to meet projected demand, says Venkat Srinivasan, director of the Argonne Collaborative Center for Energy Storage Science. Will the EV battery world be able to meet the EV demand?

Researchers boost performance of lithium-rich cathode material 30-40% by creating oxygen vacancies

Green Car Congress

An international team of researchers has demonstrated a new way to increase the robustness and energy storage capability of a particular class of “lithium-rich” cathode materials by using a carbon dioxide-based gas mixture to create oxygen vacancies at the material’s surface. —Qiu et al.
