Researchers use carbon-based anodes with “bumpy” surfaces for Li-ion batteries that last longer in extreme cold

Green Car Congress

the key to addressing the low-temperature capacity loss lies in adjusting the surface electron configurations of the carbon anode to reinforce the coordinate interaction between the solvated Li + and adsorption sites for Li + desolvation and reduce the activation energy of the charge-transfer process. . …

Sandia testing method yields pathway to better, longer-lasting solid-state batteries

Green Car Congress

Here, we combine two operando methods, Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) and neutron depth profiling (NDP), to identify the rate-limiting interface in operating Si-LiPON-LiCoO 2 solid-state batteries by mapping the contact potential difference (CPD) and the corresponding Li distributions. —Alec Talin, co-corresponding author.

ORNL team finds way to deliver on promise of VO2(B) Li-ion cathode

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have discovered a way to achieve the promise of bronze-phase vanadium dioxide [VO 2 (B)] as an electrode material for Li-ion batteries. Thus, VO2(B) has been expected to exhibit both high capacity and rapid Li ion diffusion. —Lee et al. Click to enlarge.
