ANL team develops new class of Li- and Na- rechargeable batteries based on selenium and selenium-sulfur; greater volumetric energy densities than sulfur-based batteries

Green Car Congress

Cycling performance of Li/SeS 2 ?C, Researchers at Argonne National Laboratory have developed selenium and selenium–sulfur (Se x S y )-based cathode materials for a new class of room-temperature lithium and sodium batteries. Unlike the widely studied Li/S system, both Se and Se x S y can be cycled to high voltages (up to 4.6

UCSD, South 8 team report improved liquefied-gas electrolytes for Li-metal batteries

Green Car Congress

Improvements to a class of battery electrolyte first introduced in 2017—liquefied gas electrolytes—could pave the way to replacing the graphite anode with a lithium-metal anode. As demonstrated in this earlier work, the solvent itself, rather than the salt, plays a more critical role in stabilizing the Li metal.

ARPA-E awards $175M to 68 novel clean energy OPEN 2021 projects

Green Car Congress

The selected projects will focus on technologies such as revolutionizing fuel cells for light- and heavy-duty vehicles, and technologies to generate less nuclear waste and reduce the cost of fuel. This would eliminate the ionomer, which conducts ions, but also poisons catalyst sites and obstructs oxygen transport. Stanford University.

ARPA-E to award $30M to increase performance of solid ion conductors for batteries, fuel cells

Green Car Congress

IONICS also seeks to develop and apply methods for processing of solid ion conductors and their integration into electrochemical devices. Program Categories include: Lithium (Li) ion conductors that enable the cycling of Li metal without shorting; Selective and low-cost separators for batteries with liquid reactants (e.g.,
