ICL model predicts lithium-ion batteries most competitive for storage applications by 2030

Green Car Congress

The model predicts lithium-ion batteries to be the cheapest technology in the coming decades. We have found that lithium-ion batteries are following in the footsteps of crystalline silicon solar panels. Researchers at Imperial College London (ICL) developed a model to determine the lifetime costs (i.e.,

Virginia Tech team demonstrates green manufacturing method for Li-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

The researchers found that the electrodes fabricated via water-based processing demonstrate comparable rate performance and cycle life to the ones from conventional solvent based processing. Mass production of LIBs can result in environmental concerns during battery manufacturing and disposal. In fact, it is estimated that 4.1
