Team develops electroplating method for Li-ion cathode production; high performance and new form factors, functionalities

Green Car Congress

In an open-access paper in the journal Science Advances, the team reports using a low-temperature (260 °C) molten salt electrodeposition approach directly to electroplate the Li-ion cathode materials layered LiCoO 2 , spinel LiMn 2 O 4 , and Al-doped LiCoO 2. —Zhang et al. Xerion is a startup company co-founded by Paul V.

Ceramic pump moves molten metal at a record 1,400 ?C; new avenues for energy storage and hydrogen production

Green Car Congress

Thermal energy is of greatest value—that is, has the highest available work or ‘exergy’—when it can be transported, stored and converted at the highest possible temperatures. Even in cases where high-temperature fluids are used, such as gas turbines and rocket engines, the pumps and compressors are not operated at high temperatures.
