Swedish researchers explore use of carbon fiber as active electrode in structural battery for electric vehicles

Green Car Congress

Woven carbon fiber can act as an electrode for lithium ion batteries. Researchers in Sweden are exploring the use of carbon fiber as an active electrode in a multifunctional structural Li-ion battery in an electric car; i.e., electrical storage is incorporated into the body of the car. In this €3.4-million

KAUST uses laser pulses to boost performance of MXene electrode

Green Car Congress

Graphite contains flat layers of carbon atoms, and during battery charging, lithium atoms are stored between these layers in a process called intercalation. These nanodots, roughly 10 nanometers wide, were connected to the MXene’s layers by carbon materials. Resources Bayhan, Z., This offers several benefits. El-Demellawi, J.

GM researchers demonstrate hierarchical electrode architectures for high energy lithium-chalcogen rechargeable batteries

Green Car Congress

lithium-sulfur (Li-S) and lithium selenium (Li-Se) systems— are promising candidates for high energy electrical storage solution. It has now well recognized that excellent performance could be achieved with a low sulfur to carbon ratio and a low total S mass loading in the electrode. Lithium-chalcogen batteries—e.g.,
