Tsinghua, MIT, Argonne team discovers lithium titanate hydrates for superfast, stable cycling in Li-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

An international research team from Tsinghua University, MIT and Argonne National Laboratory has discovered a series of novel lithium titanate hydrates that show better electrochemical performances compared to all the Li 2 O–TiO 2 materials reported so far—including those after nanostructuring, doping and/or coating.

LLTO anode material for safe batteries with a long cycle life

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and Jilin University in Changchun/China have investigated a highly promising anode material for future high-performance batteries: lithium lanthanum titanate with a perovskite crystal structure (LLTO). However, negative electrodes made of graphite have a low charging rate.

UCSD team develops new disordered rock salt anode for fast-charging, safer lithium-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Researchers at UC San Diego, with their colleagues at other institutions, have developed a new anode material that enables lithium-ion batteries to be safely recharged within minutes for thousands of cycles. So with this material we can make fast-charging, safe batteries with a long life, without sacrificing too much energy density.

Opbrid Introduces New Overhead Fast-Charging System for Buses; Leveraging Lithium Titanate (nLTO) Battery Technology for Rapid Charge Hybrids

Green Car Congress

has introduced the Bůsbaar—an overhead, pantograph-based fast-charging station for buses. By fast charging these batteries for 5 or 6 minutes at each end of a bus route, a bus can run throughout the day on 100% electricity from the grid. Opbrid calls such buses Rapid Charge Hybrids (RCH).

New ORNL titanium dioxide material shows high-rate capability and long-time cyclability for Li-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have designed and synthesized a new titanium dioxide material—Mesoporous TiO 2 –B microspheres—for high-power lithium-ion batteries. Consequently, a lithium-ion battery that substitutes TiO 2 -B for the graphite electrode charges and discharges quickly.
