Researchers develop rechargeable hybrid-seawater fuel cell; highly energy density, stable cycling

Green Car Congress

Sodium can serve as an alternative to lithium in rechargeable batteries as the reversible storage mechanisms for sodium ions are very similar (e.g., Hard carbon and Sn-C nanocomposite electrodes were successfully applied as anode materials, yielding highly stable cycling performance and reversible capacities exceeding 110?mAh?g

NTU Singapore team develops ultra-fast charging Li-ion battery with new TiO2 gel anode material

Green Car Congress

A battery equipped with the new anode material can be recharged up to 70% in only 2 minutes. Nanostructuring also results in lowered volumetric energy density, which could be a considerable problem for mobile applications. The new battery will also be able to endure more than 10,000 charging cycles. A 2013 paper (Dylla et al. )

New hybrid Li metal/graphite anode enables high-performance Li-S battery with significantly extended life

Green Car Congress

In a paper published in Nature Communications , the researchers suggest that this simple hybrid concept may also provide scientific strategies for protecting metal anodes in other energy-storage devices. Alternative energy-storage systems with much higher theoretical specific energy are needed. Batteries'
