Researchers show that layered calcium transition metal oxides can be promising cathode materials for Ca-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Out of several candidates that could replace Li in rechargeable batteries, calcium (Ca) stands out as a promising metal. Not only is Ca 10,000 times more abundant than Li, but it can also yield—in theory—similar battery performance. Haesun Park, Chung-Ang University, co-corresponding author.

Study finds resource constraints should not be a limiting factor for large-scale EV battery production

Green Car Congress

(A) Energy storage potential (ESP) based on annual production of the elements. On the order of 1 billion 40 kWh Li-based EV batteries could be built with the currently estimated reserve base of lithium, according to a recent study by researchers from Lawrence Berkeley National laboratory and the University of California, Berkeley.

New aqueous rechargeable lithium battery shows good safety, high reliability, high energy density and low cost; another post Li-ion alternative

Green Car Congress

Schematic illustration of the aqueous rechargeable lithium battery (ARLB) using the coated lithium metal as anode, LiMn 2 O 4 as cathode and 0.5 mol l -1 Li 2 SO 4 aqueous solution as electrolyte. If anode materials of lower redox potentials can be stable in aqueous electrolytes, high energy density systems will be feasible.
