New silicon-hydrogel composite Li-ion anode material shows long cycle life, easy manufacturability

Green Car Congress

The hydrogel is polymerized in situ , resulting in a well-connected 3D network structure of Si nanoparticles (SiNP) coated by the conducting polymer. A g -1 , the composite electrode exhibited a relatively stable reversible lithium capacity of 1,600 mAh g -1 for 1,000 deep cycles based on the weight of only Si. Click to enlarge.

The promise of wireless charging: smaller batteries, longer battery life, fewer charging stations

Charged EVs

We connect high-power communication lines into the DC charging system of the car. Overnight or deep-cycle discharge damages batteries, and high C rates degrade batteries because of the temperature created. times more life expectancy for a battery versus a deep-cycle charging approach. How does that work?
