ORNL team develops low-cost scalable method to join materials in solid-state batteries; electrochemical pulse

Green Car Congress

Solid-state batteries incorporate a safer, fast-charging architecture featuring a solid-state electrolyte versus the liquid electrolytes in today’s lithium-ion batteries. A successful solid-state commercial battery system could provide at least two times the energy density of lithium-ion batteries in a much smaller footprint.

ion Ventures and LiNa Energy conclude successful test of solid-state sodium-nickel battery platform

Green Car Congress

Using this skill set, they developed the LiNa Platform, an innovative re-engineering of the operationally proven sodium-nickel-chloride (Na-NiCl 2 ) chemistry, where power is produced by sodium ions conducting across a fast sodium ion conducting ceramic membrane in the solid-state.

DOE, Stanford researchers bring “dead” lithium batteries back to life

Electrek

The lithium-ion batteries found in most modern EVs and hybrids tend to lose energy capacity as they cycle (get charged, get spent, and get re-charged). That happens because small bits of lithium can be cut off from the battery’s electrodes during the charging process.
