New MIT metal-mesh membrane could solve longstanding problems with liquid metal displacement batteries; inexpensive grid power storage
Green Car Congress
JANUARY 25, 2018
Sadoway considers this development a breakthrough, because for the first time in five decades, this type of battery—the advantages of which include cheap, abundant raw materials, very safe operational characteristics, and an ability to go through many charge-discharge cycles without degradation—could finally become practical.
ZSW develops process for Li-ion batteries with extended cycle life; 10,000 charge cycles
Green Car Congress
JUNE 4, 2013
The Lithium-ion batteries are intended for use in electric vehicles and as solar power storage systems. After 10,000 complete charging and discharging cycles with a complete charge and discharge cycle per hour (2 C), our lithium batteries still have more than 85 % of the initial capacity.
Enabling Electric Vehicle Charging in Condominiums

JANUARY 4, 2021
80% of EV charging takes place at work or home. However, while installing a charging station at your house is fairly simple, doing so in condominiums can be more tricky. It’s simple: If you live in the condo and own an EV, having an EV charger on-site will allow you to charge up your car at home for utmost convenience.
BMW i home energy storage system integrates 2nd-life i3 vehicle batteries
Green Car Congress
JUNE 21, 2016
The remarkable advantage for BMW customers in using BMW i3 batteries as a plug and play storage application is the ability to tap into an alternative resource for residential and commercial backup power, thus using renewable energy much more efficiently, and enabling additional revenues from the energy market.
Volvo Car Group testing lightweight structural energy storage material applied in trunk lid and plenum cover
Green Car Congress
OCTOBER 17, 2013
A composite blend of carbon fibers and polymer resin is being developed that can store and charge more energy faster than conventional batteries can. This material can then be used around the vehicle, replacing existing components, to store and charge energy. Click to enlarge. Close up of the trunk lid carbon fiber composite.
Researchers synthesize battery cathode from lignin derivatives
Green Car Congress
MARCH 23, 2012
Milczarek and Inganäs describe how a class of organic compounds known as quinones allows the lignin derivatives to shed a proton and store this electric charge in its place. The polypyrrole is able to hold on to the loose proton until the charge is released and the proton returns to the quinone group of the lignin derivative.
