Sion Power projects Licerion EV Li-metal batteries will have 420 Wh/kg and 700 Wh/L when scaled to commercial design

Green Car Congress

Sion Power, a developer of high-energy, lithium-metal rechargeable batteries, said that its Licerion EV technology will have energy capacities of 420 Wh/kg and 700 Wh/L when scaled to commercial design. Sion Power has the technology to produce a viable alternative to traditional lithium-ion cells for many applications, including EV.

Toshiba doubles anode capacity in next-generation Li-ion battery; titanium niobium oxide; application in FY 2019

Green Car Congress

The new battery offers high-energy density and the ultra-rapid recharging required for automotive applications. A compact EV with a 32 kWh next generation SCiB pack could recharge to a 320 km (199 miles) drive range (JC08 test cycle) after six minutes—three times the distance possible with current lithium-ion batteries Toshiba said.

Goodenough perspective on Li-ion batteries; in transportation, PHEVs for the near-term, longer term requires new electrochemical strategies

Green Car Congress

Dr. Goodenough invented lithium cobalt oxide cathode materials while at Oxford University; his technology was used in the first commercial Li-ion battery, launched by Sony in 1991. This interim solution would offer a distributed store of electrical energy that can spread the cost of storing off-peak power in a rechargeable battery.

European automotive and automotive battery industries call for extension of the exemption of lead-based batteries from the EU ELV Directive

Green Car Congress

All hybrid, plug-in hybrid and full electric vehicles equipped with high-voltage, advanced rechargeable battery systems also utilize a second electrical system on 12V level for controls, comfort features, redundancy and safety features. In full-hybrid vehicles, the stored energy is also used for a certain range of electric driving.

Example of a lithium-water rechargeable battery. The aqueous cathode could be individually stored in tank, reducing the volume of the battery and increasing the design flexibility of the battery structure. His technology was used in the first commercial Li-ion battery, launched by SONY in 1991. Credit: ACS, Lu et al.
