Report: Bosch buying solid-state Li-ion battery company Seeo

Green Car Congress

Quartz today reported that Bosch has agreed to acquire Berkeley Lab solid-state Li-ion battery spinoff Seeo. Lithium metal is an ideal anode material for rechargeable Li batteries. This can also be problematic, as the core requirements of a solid-state electrolyte for use with a Li metal anode—i.e.,

Ohio State researchers use neutron depth profiling to track flow of Li atoms into and out of anode in real time

Green Car Congress

Using a neutron beam, chemists and engineers at The Ohio State University have been able to track the flow of lithium atoms into and out of an anode in real time as a Li-ion battery charged and discharged. They may also be less prone to overheating. By using in?situ —Liu et al.
