Toyota ‘making an investment like disturbed’ in unused EV batteries however refuse heavy sea exchange anticipated

Baua Electric

Sodium-based chemistries, for instance, have decrease power densities since the sodium molecule is greater than the lithium molecule. Sodium batteries may well be put to raised importance in desk bound energy packs, while lithium ion ones may proceed having extra advantage in automobiles.

Fraunhofer develops new dry-coating process for battery electrodes

Green Car Congress

The active material, conductive carbon and binders are dispersed in a solvent to make a paste, which is initially applied to the metal foil to form a wet coating. In the final step, the resulting coil is cut to the required size and the individual parts are stacked as appropriate in order to produce the finished battery cell.

Japanese carmakers still ‘most sustainable’

Green Cars News

A focus on tailpipe CO2 emissions has distracted away from the impact of car production, suggests Professor Frank Figge who co-authored the ‘Sustainable Value in Automobile Manufacturing’ study. Its sodium oxide value contributions show the worst level of resource efficiency in the entire study. billion from 1999 to 2007.
