DRX Consortium to accelerate commercialization of disordered rock salt (DRX) cathode materials

Green Car Congress

DRX cathodes could provide batteries with higher energy density than conventional lithium-ion battery cathodes made of nickel and cobalt, two metals that are in critically short supply. In a rock salt structure, cations (positively charged ions) and anions (negatively charged ions) are arranged in a specific pattern.

DOE announces 15 Phase 1 winners of Battery Recycling Prize

Green Car Congress

For a total of $1 million in prizes, these projects focus on cost-effective recycling processes to recover as much economic value as possible from spent lithium-ion batteries. Only five percent of spent lithium-ion batteries in the United States are recycled. Li Industries. Powering the Future.

Argonne white paper outlines battery and R&D requirements for electric aviation

Green Car Congress

For the air taxi and commuter aircraft market, the paper calls for evaluating next-generation lithium-ion chemistries (e.g., silicon, advanced cathode, lithium-metal) under aviation conditions and examining failure modes and safety. Argonne has a storied history of battery and energy storage innovations.

Li-ion Reserve in the World: How it Revolutionised the EV Industry

Get Electric Vehicle

Lithium-Ion Batteries: The Game Changer. The Roadster used three-phase, four-pole AC induction motors and was the first to install lithium-ion batteries in a production car and the first to demonstrate a 200-mile driving range. Tesla and other modern electric cars (except a few) owe lithium-ion batteries to their success.
