Li-ion Maker fortu PowerCell GmbH Considering Michigan Plant

Green Car Congress

In a 2006 paper in the Journal of Applied Electrochemistry , fortu researchers described their efforts in developing the rechargeable lithium battery based on a novel safety concept. The system also allows a higher deintercalation state of the positive electrode to be reached than is possible with standard lithium-ion cells.

TU Graz team uses monocrystalline Si as Li-ion anode; integrated micro batteries for on-board sensors

Green Car Congress

Electrochemists at TU Graz have used single crystalline acceptor-doped Si—as ubiquitously used in the semiconductor industry—as anode material for rechargeable Li-ion batteries. This increase amounts up to 300% if we refer to amorphous silicon (a-Si) and complete electrochemical lithiation (0 mV vs Li/Li + ).
