Jilin team improves hydrogen storage alloys to boost performance of NiMH batteries

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Jilin University in China have proposed a new strategy for designing hydrogen storage alloys with high capacity and long cycling life to improve the discharge capacity and cycling life of nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries. Jiang (2018) “A strategy for designing new AB4.5-type Their candidate alloy—La 0.62

Chubu Electric Power, Toyota partner on reuse and subsequent recycling of NiMH and Li-ion electrified vehicle batteries

Green Car Congress

In FY 2018, Chubu Electric Power and Toyota will commence verification of the Storage Battery System. The initial stage will involve nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries, which are currently being used in large quantities, mainly in hybrid electric vehicles (HEV).

Adamas: deployment of nickel-rich cathode chemistries drives battery nickel demand higher in May

Green Car Congress

Over the same period, the amount of NME used in li-ion batteries (primarily in the form of nickel sulfate) increased 69% whereas the amount of NME used in NiMH batteries (primarily in the form of nickel hydroxide and AB5 nickel-REE alloy) increased 26%.

Adamas: China, US and Japan drove 73% of electrified vehicle battery nickel deployment in May 2019

Green Car Congress

China alone was responsible for 40% of all NME deployed globally in passenger EV batteries in May 2019 versus 38% in May 2018 as passenger EV makers in the nation have increasingly adopted higher energy density NCM cells, which contain nickel, at the expense of lower energy density LFP alternatives that do not.

Pike forecasts 26.4% CAGR for electric-drive buses to 2018; hybrid, battery-electric and fuel cell

Green Car Congress

from 2012 to 2018. million kWh by 2018, a CAGR of 42%. This does not correspond directly to hybrid bus growth, Pike notes, because NiMH and ultracapacitors continue to take a significant part of the energy. By 2018, it is perhaps not surprising that battery electric buses will drive the most demand for. Li-ion batteries.

Roskill: Nickel sulfate to be the key growth area of nickel demand over the next decade; driven by EVs

Green Car Congress

A couple of years ago, the market for nickel sulfate was largely driven by the plating industry and non-Li-ion battery applications such as NiMH and NiCd batteries with stagnated y-o-y growth. However, Roskill cautions, the road will be a bumpy one.
