New lithium polysulfide flow battery for large-scale energy storage

Green Car Congress

As the lithium surface is well passivated by LiNO 3 additive in ether solvent, internal shuttle effect is largely eliminated and thus excellent performance over 2000 cycles is achieved with a constant capacity of 200 mA h g ?1. We demonstrated that, with a 5 M Li 2 S 8 catholyte, energy densities of 97 Wh kg ?1 1 and 108 Wh L ?1

Plug-In Hybrids (or Plugin Hybrids)

Tony Karrer Delicious EVdriven

Its like having a second fuel tank that you always use first -- only you fill up at home, from a regular outlet, at an equivalent cost of under $1/gallon. Cost increments for a plug-in hybrid compact vehicle will be 10-20% more than a regular hybrid: $2000-3000 extra for a sedan; $5000 for an SUV. You dont have to plug it in.
