Who Really Invented the Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery?

Cars That Think

Fifty years after the birth of the rechargeable lithium-ion battery, it’s easy to see its value. Did Exxon invent the rechargeable lithium battery? By Christmas, he had developed a battery with a titanium-disulfide cathode and a liquid electrolyte that used lithium ions. at Oxford.

Novel copolymer binder extends the life of lithium-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

PVDF is characterized by a nonconducting nature, slow dissolution in the electrolyte, and poor adherence to the current collector—thus limiting its utility as a robust binder for lithium-ion batteries designed for a long cycle life. 0c02742.

UMD, Army Researchers design new electrolyte enabling high energy density rechargeable Mg and Ca batteries

Green Car Congress

Rechargeable magnesium and calcium metal batteries (RMBs and RCBs) are promising alternatives to lithium-ion batteries because of the high crustal abundance and capacity of magnesium and calcium. Magnesium is substantially more abundant than lithium, which should meet the needs of the ever-growing battery market.
