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

Green Car Congress

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. Rechargeable lithium-metal batteries differ from rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, which are commercial and widely available.

Kyoto team develops new cathode material for high-energy-density rechargeable magnesium batteries

Green Car Congress

Charge–discharge profiles of ion-exchanged MgFeSiO 4. Three-electrode cells using Mg metal counter electrode and silver reference electrode were used. A team of researchers from Kyoto University has demonstrated ion-exchanged MgFeSiO 4 as a feasible cathode material for use in high-energy-density rechargeable magnesium batteries.

Charging the Audi e-tron; 248.5 miles in the WLTP cycle

Green Car Congress

Its 95 kWh lithium-ion battery provides for a range of more than 400 kilometers (248.5 The key feature behind this is the thermal management system for the lithium-ion battery. In the latter case, the battery can be fully recharged in roughly 8.5 mi) in the WLTP driving cycle. Audi e-tron prototype in Berlin.
