Some of these are also focused on advancing battery technology—three companies and four educational institutions will receive multi-million-dollar grants to research lithium-sulfur batteries. million to research “Improved 12-Volt Lead-Acid Batteries for Safety-Critical Electric Vehicle Applications.”

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.

The 48-volt on-board power supply will be introduced at the same time and starter-generators will become part of the standard specification. With the introduction of the post-lithium-ion technology, of which the lithium-sulfur systems are currently the most promising, we will have an entirely different playing field in the next decade.

The researchers also demonstrated that their hybrid electrolyte should be stable with two of the most promising next-generation cathode candidates that are being developed, sulfur and high-voltage cathodes such as lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide. —Nitash Balsara.
