Univ. of Texas researchers propose lithium- or sodium-water batteries as next generation of high-capacity battery technology; applicable for EVs and grid storage

Green Car Congress

John Goodenough, are proposing a strategy for high-capacity next-generation alkali (lithium or sodium)-ion batteries using water-soluble redox couples as the cathode. The high energy storage has stimulated a worldwide study of Li-air batteries. A typical Li-air battery discharges at 2.5-2.7 V vs. Li/Li + at room temperature.

GM Electrochemists Suggest Ongoing Investment in Both Battery and Fuel Cell Research; Connecting the Science with Vehicle Engineering

Green Car Congress

ion batteries provide a pathway for efficient use of renewable-sourced electricity in the transportation sector, but it is possible that fundamental physical limitations may prevent pure Li-ion-based BEVs from ever delivering the freedom of providing long trips, with intermittent quick refills, that consumers currently receive from their cars.
