Univ. of Missouri team progressing with convection battery; enabling rechargeable lithium-metal batteries

Green Car Congress

The Li / Support is the electrode made possible with the convection battery technology. The technology allows lithium-metal batteries to be recharged without the dendrite failure (short circuit) that has prevented rechargeable lithium-metal batteries from being commercially viable.

Li-Ion Battery Researchers Work To Improve Precision Measurements of Charging, Estimations of Cycle Life; Highlight Need For Further Order of Magnitude Improvement In Accuracy

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia have called for new tools that can more accurately measure an electrochemical cell’s Coulombic efficiency (CE) when evaluating cycle life of lithium-ion cells as well as other battery chemistries. Such CE measurements would have to be precise on the scale of at least ±0.01%.”
