A team of researchers at MIT and Tsinghua University has developed a high-rate, high-capacity and long-lived anode for Li-ion batteries comprising a yolk-shell nanocomposite of aluminum core (30 nm in diameter) and TiO 2 shell (~3 nm in thickness), with a tunable interspace (Al@TiO 2 , or ATO). Half-cell battery performance of Al@TiO 2. (a)

We will get to how it all works in a moment, but the short version is that, while you still get a petrol engine with your electric motors, the former is only used to recharge the battery or deliver power to the motors — it never actually drives the wheels — giving you what Nissan calls an “EV-like” drive experience, and improved fuel efficiency.

But Nissan has the litium ion battery and tons of desirable, very cool features ready for prime time right here and right now. Everyone’s all excited that Ford just turned a profit, but they’re doing it with a fleet of uninspired crappy cars that they practically have to give away. And by that I mean the end of 2010.

Topics covered the expected gamut of policy (especially carbon policy), infrastructure, batteries and consumers. Infrastructure, recharging and business models. An electric vehicle charging at 110V takes about 6-7 hours; moving up to 220V brings charge times down to 2 and 3 hours, Darbee said. —Jon Lauckner.
