Tier 1 HELLA evaluating PowerGenix NiZn batteries for 48V mild hybrid vehicles

Green Car Congress

High-rate, high-power capabilities are critical to the performance of 48-volt systems, but cost and complexity of Li-ion battery technologies capable of meeting such requirements pose the biggest challenge to their widespread adoption. Earlier post.) (Nickel-zinc batteries are chemically very similar to nickel-cadmium, NiCd.

EU JRC releases Roskill study on demand and supply security of nickel for EV batteries; risk of shortages

Green Car Congress

Against this demand backdrop, Roskill critically assessed the EU’s internal supply capabilities and identified the risk of future shortages. Nickel sulfate is used directly in the production of Li-ion precursors (blue) and plating (blue). There are two tiers of this market balance that need to be considered.

Microporous polymer material for supercapacitors with large capacitance, high energy and power densities and excellent cycle life

Green Car Congress

Aza-CMPs exhibit large capacitance, high power and energy densities (approaching those of current-generation Li-ion batteries), and enable repetitive energy storage and power supply with an excellent cycle life. The nitrogen centers interact with the electrolyte ions, thus favoring the accumulation of charge and the movement of ions.
