New all-solid Li-S battery from ORNL shows approximately 4x energy density of current Li-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have designed and tested an all-solid lithium-sulfur battery with approximately four times the energy density of conventional lithium-ion technologies. The ORNL battery design also addresses flammability concerns experienced by other chemistries. Earlier post.).

Ricardo develops new model-based EV battery control technology; evaluating new cell chemistries

Green Car Congress

Ricardo has developed a new Battery Management System (BMS) for EVs that is scalable to a wide range of applications. One of the most significant impediments to an increased market share for plug-in vehicles is the high cost of rechargeable energy storage. This project was led by OXIS and part-funded by Innovate UK.

Stanford Researchers Demonstrate a New Nanostructured Lithium Sulfide/Silicon Rechargeable Battery System with High Specific Energy

Green Car Congress

The new battery combines a Li 2 S/mesoporous carbon composite cathode and a silicon nanowire anode. Yi Cui at Stanford University have demonstrated a new proof-of-concept lithium metal-free battery with high specific energy consisting of a lithium sulfide (Li 2 S)/mesoporous carbon composite cathode and a silicon (Si) nanowire anode.

Sulfur–TiO2 yolk-shell cathode for Li-sulfur battery shows best long-cycle performance so far

Green Car Congress

(b) Capacity retention of sulfur–TiO 2 yolk–shell nanostructures cycled at 0.5 C, in comparison with bare sulfur and sulfur–TiO 2 core–shell nanoparticles. The authors say that, to the best of their knowledge, this is the first time that a lithiumsulfur battery with this level of performance has been described.

RPI researchers use self-heating technique to anneal and eliminate lithium dendrites; self-healing anode

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Rensselaer have developed a new technique using heat to enable self-healing lithium-metal anodes to eliminate dangerous dendrite buildup, paving the way for higher energy density battery technologies. We have found that lithium metal dendrites can be healed in situ by the self-heating of the dendritic particles.
