MIT researchers have engineered a new rechargeable, membrane-less hydrogen bromine laminar flow battery with high power density. The membrane-less design enables power densities of 0.795? 2 at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, with a round-trip voltage efficiency of 92% at 25% of peak power.

Lithium-ion batteries are everywhere: in smartphones, laptops, electric vehicles, and even in your wristwatch. The next frontier, they say, is the solid-state battery — and perhaps 3D-printed ones, at that. The company's 3D-printing platform is based on the binder jet printing process developed by MIT.

Early utility companies like Boston Edison and New York Edison organized EV fleets, favoring electric trucks for their comparatively capacious batteries. In the early years of the automobile, battery-powered electric cars were competitive with cars fueled by gasoline and other types of propulsion.

The biggest barrier is the battery." GMs program relies on lithium-ion battery technology that Gioia called "cost, weight and package prohibitive." GMs global product chief Bob Lutz said he expects to have next-generation lithium-ion battery packs ready for the vehicles by October this year."Well

that car was missing precisely what the Volt (and any other would-be electric car under consideration today) is missing -- an appropriate battery technology that provides decent power within a decent weight and space constraint at anything approaching a decent price. Forget the black helicopter conspiracies. Interesting in any case.
