University of Sydney team advances rechargeable zinc-air batteries with bimetallic oxide–graphene hybrid electrocatalyst

Green Car Congress

University of Sydney team advances rechargeable zinc-air batteries with bimetallic oxide–graphene hybrid electrocatalyst. Cheaper to produce than lithium-ion batteries, they can also store more energy (theoretically five times more than that of lithium-ion batteries), are much safer, and are more environmentally friendly.

UT Austin team develops new family of high-capacity anode materials: Interdigitated Eutectic Alloys

Green Car Congress

Researchers in the Cockrell School of Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a new family of anode materials that can double the charge capacity of lithium-ion battery anodes. It is a simple, low-cost approach that can be applied to a broad range of alloy systems with various working ions such as Li, Na, or Mg.

EC launches €10M EIC Horizon Prize for innovative batteries for EVs; EU Battery Alliance progressing

Green Car Congress

The battery should also be of relatively low cost, durable, safe and fully recyclable. The Prize aims to tackle the challenge of the slow uptake of zero emission electric vehicles so far, mainly due to the limitations of existing batteries, which are expensive and have limited ranges and long recharging times.

UC Riverside team develops new coating strategy for Li-metal anodes to prevent dendrite formation

Green Car Congress

After treating the lithium metal layer with 0.5 The coating layer can generate better control of the lithium ion flow and suppress the lithium dendrite growth and therefore form a uniform and stable solid electrolyte interphase. The earliest non-rechargeable Li batteries using Li metal as anode appeared in the 1970s.

Fujitsu develops new Li iron pyrophosphate cathode material with abnormally high voltage for LIBs

Green Car Congress

has successfully developed a high-voltage cathode material for lithium iron phosphate rechargeable batteries. Currently, lithium-ion batteries are widely used as high-performance rechargeable batteries. The electrode can also be used as a low-cost cathode material in safe, solid-state rechargeable batteries.
