Report: VW invests in novel energy storage company QuantumScape and its solid-state “All Electron Battery”

Green Car Congress

Volkswagen executives have been hinting for awhile now about taking a different approach to high-energy-density electrical storage for long-range electric vehicles than the more “conventional” next-generation Li-ion or Li-metal battery pathways. roughly the same as the target.

Two studies exploring battery costs for hybrids and plug-ins: LEESS, PHEV20, and PHEV40

Green Car Congress

For PHEV20 batteries, TIAX found significant overlap in battery costs among five cathode classes, with wider variation within each chemistry based on the electrode design than between chemistries. For PHEV20, the program focused on both commercially available and emerging cathode materials aimed for use in a 20-mile PHEV battery pack.

Harvard team demonstrates new metal-free organic–inorganic aqueous flow battery; potential breakthrough for low-cost grid-scale storage

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Harvard have demonstrated a metal-free organic–inorganic aqueous flow battery—a quinone–bromide flow battery (QBFB)—as an example of a class of energy storage materials that exploits the favorable chemical and electrochemical properties of a family of molecules known as quinones. Commercialization.
