Then, as electricity entrepreneurs expanded power generation and transmission capacity, they faced the new problem of what to do with all the cheap off-peak, nighttime electricity they could now produce. AC Propulsion cofounder Wally Rippel converted a Volkswagen microbus into an electric vehicle while he was still a student at Caltech.

For the study, the Stanford team used a mild carbonization and activation process to convert the polymer organic frameworks into nanometer-thick sheets of carbon. We can easily design electrodes with very small pores that allow lithium ions to diffuse through the carbon but prevent the polysulfides from leaching out.

The researchers devised a one-pot synthesis method that is simple, cheap, scalable and uses only Earth-abundant elements (Al, Ti, O, H, C and S)—and therefore can be used for mass production. They converted the alumina layer to titania (TiO 2 ), a better conductor of electrons and lithium ions when it is very thin.

Recent developments in lithium ion batteries, and the consequential range improvements of EVs has significantly dampened enthusiasm for hydrogen fuel cells. The electron flow goes via the car’s lithium-ion battery, in essence keeping it charged, and recombines with the protons and oxygen at the cathode.

The work, they said in a paper published in the journal ACS Nano , provides a protocol for pairing lithium-free electrode materials to make a next-generation high-energy Lithium-ion battery (LIB). With a simple 20 min prelithiation, the amount of lithium preloaded into the SiNWs was measured to be ~2000 mAh/g of Si.

The company is currently focusing on plans to plug the gap between the current market and a future when electric cars hit the mainstream, by converting Lotus Elises and Volkswagen (VW) Golfs to electric power. Converting Lotuses is expensive, he says, but you have to start somewhere. The longer term plan is to import electric cars.

Furthermore, changing the battery pack on say a Toyota Prius often costs a fortune, at least in most European countries, so such cars better be VERY cheap, but they’re not. If these companies are ultimately successful and can convince EV manufacturers to ditch lithuim ion, we could depend on the already robust recycling program.
