New cobalt-free high-voltage spinel cathode material with high areal capacity

Green Car Congress

. … It should be noted, the cost and sustainability of lithium-ion batteries are not only limited by the production of Co and Ni but also potentially limited by the lithium element itself. … The price of Co fluctuates significantly, with the inconspicuous fall of Ni price and continues growing of Li price. —Li et al. (a)

Roskill forecasts Li-ion battery demand to increase more than ten-fold by 2029 to >1,800GWh

Green Car Congress

Roskill forecasts that Li-ion battery demand will increase more than ten-fold by 2029, reaching in excess of 1,800GWh capacity. In the late 2020s, Li-ion technologies could see increasing competition from other battery technologies, though Li-ion cells are expected to maintain their dominant position, Roskill said.

HIU researchers develop extremely high energy density lithium-metal cell with good stability

Green Car Congress

Although lithium-metal batteries are attractive as a higher-capacity energy storage solution than current Li-ion batteries, their stability poses a challenge because the electrode materials react with common electrolyte systems, affecting stability.

Saft and ESMA to Cooperate on Supercapacitor Development, Production and Commercialization; Heavy Diesels First Target

Green Car Congress

Saft has signed an agreement with ESMA , a Russian company, to cooperate in the development, production and commercialization of supercapacitors based on ESMA’s technology. ESMA’s patented asymmetric nickel capacitors feature one battery electrode mated with a double layer charge storage (capacitor) electrode.

Envia Systems announcement may herald the first wave of DOE-supported commercial high energy density Li-ion cells with Si-C anodes

Green Car Congress

While Envia Systems is the first integrated cell producer to announce success with that type of combination, other providers of Si-C materials or IP—such as, but not limited to, Nanosys and the DOE’s own Argonne National Laboratory, respectively—are also currently deep in the process of development and/or commercialization.

Researchers determine cause of voltage fade in NMC cathode materials, find it is reversible

Green Car Congress

Lithium-rich layered oxides (LRLO) are leading candidates for the next-generation cathode materials for energy storage, as they can deliver 50% excess capacity over commercially used compounds. Here, we directly capture the nucleation of a dislocation network in primary nanoparticles of the high-capacity LRLO material Li 1.2
