USABC awards $1.64M to NOHMs Technologies for development of ionic liquid electrolytes for Li-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

volt lithium-ion batteries, consistent with USABC goals. Founded in 2010 as a spin-off from Cornell University ( earlier post ), NOHMs Technologies currently has developed a battery that is based on lithium-sulfur chemistry, using its proprietary electrodes, ionic liquid based electrolyte and hybrid ceramic-polymer separator.

New hybrid polymer-glass electrolyte for solid-state lithium batteries

Green Car Congress

Berkeley Lab battery scientist Nitash Balsara, working with collaborator Joseph DeSimone of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill led the effort on the hybrid electrolyte. People would like to use 5-volt cathodes, but electrolytes that are stable against those 5-volt cathodes are not readily available.
