India’s Top 10 Lithium-ion Battery Manufacturers for 2023

Electric Vehicles India

A lithium battery includes an anode, a cathode, a separator, an electrolyte, and a current collector. When the battery is charged, the positive electrode releases some of the lithium ions, which migrate through the electrolyte to the negative electrode. The battery absorbs and stores this energy.

PNNL: single-crystal nickel-rich cathode holds promise for next-generation Li-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

High-energy nickel (Ni)–rich cathode will play a key role in advanced lithium (Li)–ion batteries, but it suffers from moisture sensitivity, side reactions, and gas generation. Researchers are working on ways to store more energy in the cathode materials by increasing nickel content.

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. Na is comparable to graphite for standard lithium ion batteries. —Jinhua Sun, first author.
