New solid-electrolyte interphase may boost prospects for rechargeable Li-metal batteries

Green Car Congress

Rechargeable lithium metal batteries with increased energy density, performance, and safety may be possible with a newly-developed, solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI), according to Penn State researchers. In this project, we used a polymer composite to create a much better SEI. V Li|LiNi 0.5

Georgia Tech team develops conversion-type iron-fluoride Li battery cathode with solid polymer electrolyte

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Georgia Tech have developed a promising new conversion-type cathode and electrolyte system that replaces expensive metals and traditional liquid electrolyte with lower cost transition metal fluorides and a solid polymer electrolyte. The Georgia Tech team sought to overcome those obstacles by using the solid polymer electrolyte.

2019 Kia Niro EV crossover utility makes North American debut at LA Auto Show

Green Car Congress

The 2019 Kia Niro EV made its North American debut at the LA Auto Show. Energy and power for Niro EV comes from a liquid-cooled 64 kWh lithium-ion polymer battery packaged under the floor of the vehicle to allow for minimal passenger space intrusion. The Level 2 (240v) at 7.2 kWh charger needs approximately 9.5 hours for a full charge.

Carnegie Mellon researchers develop semi-liquid lithium metal anode for use with solid electrolytes

Green Car Congress

Solid electrolytes are considered to be key components for next-generation lithium metal-based rechargeable batteries. The SLMA consists of lithium microparticles evenly distributed in a dual-conductive polymer matrix. The method used in this work has great potential for building reliable alkaline metal-based rechargeable batteries.
