Comment on Cost advantage of sodium-ion batteries decreases as lithium prices fall by mrphilbert

CN EV Post

It's interesting that no mention of the price of sodium was included for comparison. I give this article an F. Nor was there any mention of flammability.

Researchers improve the performance of sodium-ion batteries by using tailored carbon anodes with hierarchical porosity

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Justus Liebig University, Giessen, Germany, have improved the performance of sodium-ion batteries ( earlier post ) by using tailor-made carbon materials with hierarchical porosity for the anode instead of common carbon-based anode materials. Advance Article doi: 10.1039/C1EE01744F. Performance of the new anodes.

For comparison, the SAIC-GM-Wuling Binguo has a length, width and height of 3,950 mm, 1,708 mm and 1,580 mm, with a wheelbase of 2,560 mm. Previous rumors suggested that the model would have a version with sodium-ion batteries , but this does not appear to be a reality. (1 For more articles, please visit CnEVPost.

Debunking the Lithium "Mining" FUD

Plug In India

Team PluginIndia The Lithium mining FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt) created by some paid media organizations and random YouTube channels is so bad, that many people read headlines of such articles and assume that Lithium mining is the worst thing in the world and is worse than extracting and refining 10,000 liters of oil used by an average ICE car.

ZT of ball-milled and hot-pressed sample in comparison with that of the ingot. The ZT of a control sample with no SrTe is also shown for comparison. Articles ASAP doi: 10.1021/nl104138t. The high thermoelectric figure of merit is expected to enable the conversion of 14% of heat waste to electricity. The study by Biswas et al.

Sulfur–TiO2 yolk-shell cathode for Li-sulfur battery shows best long-cycle performance so far

Green Car Congress

C, in comparison with bare sulfur and sulfur–TiO 2 core–shell nanoparticles. To prepare the material, the team reacted sodium thiosulfate with hydrochloric acid to create monodisperse sulfur nanoparticles (NPs); these NPs were then coated with TiO 2 , resulting in the formation of sulfur–TiO 2 core–shell nanoparticles.

Comparison of commercially available electric vehicles driving range to recharge time (min) (for a full recharge), abbreviated as MPM (and for use akin to MPG). Towards this goal, we present for the first time in this article a membrane that can regulate transmembrane ion transport as a function of its redox state. Click to enlarge.
