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). They then looked at the interaction of elemental lithium with such defect sites in the graphene.

MIT-led team devises new approach to designing solid ion conductors; implications for high-energy solid-state batteries

Green Car Congress

Researchers led by a team from MIT, with colleagues from Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), BMW Group, and Tokyo Institute of Technology have developed a fundamentally new approach to alter ion mobility and stability against oxidation of lithium ion conductors—a key component of rechargeable batteries—using lattice dynamics.

Top electric vehicles battery manufacturers in India

Electric Vehicles India

Currently, India is importing 100% of lithium-ion batteries from China, Europe, the US and Japan. There are two types of batteries widely used in India at present is the lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries. The more energy can be stored in the battery, the lighter the battery pack lighter will be the electric car.

New cathode design and understanding of electrolyte delivers greater efficiency in magnesium-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

The large capacity accompanies with excellent rate and cycling performances even at room temperature, opening up possibilities for a variety of effective intercalation hosts for multivalent-ion batteries. More than that, magnesium ions produced in that way move extremely slowly in the host. —Hyun Deog Yoo, first author.
