Lifecycle study finds that environmental impacts of silicon-anode Li-ion battery could be roughly comparable with conventional Li-ion battery

Green Car Congress

The results showed that more than 50% of most characterized impacts are generated from the battery operations, while the battery anode with SiNW material contributes to around 15% of global warming potential and 10% of human toxicity potential. kWh battery system comprising 12 modules with each module containing 12 LIB prismatic cells.

ARPA-E awards $30M to 21 projects advance new class of high-performance power converters

Green Car Congress

Empower’s design will enable faster & more accurate power delivery than today’s power management hardware, which has not been able to keep up with the need for high-quality power in modern processors, an important source of wasted energy. The team will use wide-bandgap-based power modules to enable rapid charging of an EV battery.

Using the PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) to Transition Society Seamlessly and Profitably From Fossil Fuel to 100% Renewable Energy

Green Car Congress

The PHEV does not require the heavy, costly batteries required by other electric cars, nor does it suffer from a limited range or poor freeway performance. He was formerly with the University of Wisconsin and Rockwell International, and holds a Ph.D. To ignore this potential is wasteful and foolish.
