Researchers develop real-time picture of formation of solid–electrolyte interphase of a Li-ion battery

Green Car Congress

During the first charging process of a new Li-ion battery cell, trace amounts of electrolyte components decompose sacrificially to form what is called a solid–electrolyte interphase (SEI) on the anode surface. The inner SEI is continuous, dense and impermeable to electrolytes, and it is most probably composed of Li 2 O.

Rice team uses deep eutectic solvent to leach cobalt, lithium from spent Li-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

The Rice University lab of materials scientist Pulickel Ajayan has used an environmentally friendly deep eutectic solvent to extract valuable elements from the metal oxides commonly used as cathodes in lithium-ion batteries. As a whole, recycling lithium-ion batteries is typically expensive and a risk to workers.

Chalmers team develops graphite-like anode for Na-ion batteries; Janus graphene

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have developed a nanometric graphite-like anode for sodium ion (Na + storage), formed by stacked graphene sheets functionalized only on one side, termed Janus graphene. The estimated sodium storage up to C 6.9 100 to 150 mA h g ? 100 to 150 mA h g ?1
