SJTU team develops self-healing binder for silicon microparticle anodes

Green Car Congress

The major problem of Si anodes is their drastic volume changes during deep cycling, which often leads to the severe pulverization, electrical contact loss, unstable solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI), and subsequent poor electrochemical cycling reversibility. Moreover, the binder can also be applied to micron SiO?

Proud of its roots

Electric Auto Association

I ordered a controller from a company in California, which used a single power Darlington transistor, and 4 deep cycle 12-volt batteries.” In 2015, the two fastest cars were both electric, and in 2018, EVs completely dominated the race. In 2013, the fastest bike was a Lightning Electric.

The promise of wireless charging: smaller batteries, longer battery life, fewer charging stations

Charged EVs

Overnight or deep-cycle discharge damages batteries, and high C rates degrade batteries because of the temperature created. times more life expectancy for a battery versus a deep-cycle charging approach. Charged : We saw the case study video of the system you installed for Link Transit in Washington in 2018.
