Panasonic to Begin Volume Production of New 4.0Ah Li-ion Cells with Si-Alloy Anode in 2012
Panasonic will begin volume production of its new 4.0Ah Li-ion secondary batteries featuring an enhanced nickel (Ni) cathode and silicon (Si) alloy anode ( earlier post ) in fiscal 2012. Although silicon offers a very high capacity as an anode material, lithium ion insertion into and extraction from silicon are accompanied by a volume change of up to 300%, which induces a strong stress on the silicon particles and causes pulverization and rapid capacity fading.
Nikkei Electronics Asia . At its announcement of the cells in December 2009, Panasonic had said volume production

After Extensive, Secretive Testing, Toyota Chooses NiMH Over Li-Ion
Three years ago, they stuffed lithium-ion packs in the Prius and put these vehicles through the rigors. Behind our backs, Toyota has conducted studies on the Prius hybrid . Tests likely included durability evaluation, costs, maintenance issues, and so on. The results of the testing are in, and Toyota has decided in favor of keeping

UK Researchers Developing Rechargeable Lithium-Air Battery; Up to 10X the Capacity of Current Li-ion Cells
Researchers in the UK are developing a rechargeable lithium-air battery that could deliver a ten-fold increase in energy capacity compared to that of currently available lithium-ion cells. An issue with Li-air batteries can be the accumulation of solid reaction products on the electrode, which blocks the contact between electrolyte and air.
The four-year EPSRC research project Diagram of the STAIR (St Andrews Air) cell. Oxygen drawn from the air reacts within the porous carbon to release the electrical charge in this lithium-air battery.

Nissan and NEC Li-ion JV AESC Begins Trial Li-ion Production
Automotive Energy Supply Corporation (AESC), the automotive Li-ion joint venture between Nissan Motor, NEC and NEC Tokin ( earlier post ), has begun trial production of advanced lithium-ion batteries for a wide range of automotive applications at its Zama Operations Center.
AESC is currently producing laminated lithium-ion cells using a manganese spinel cathode material (LiMn 2 O 4 ). With start-up pack capacity at 13,000 units/year, AESC will gradually ramp up production to 65,000 units/year by 2010.
AESC will produce the lithium-ion batteries for Nissan’s
