Sandia researchers developing new family of metal-based ionic liquids for low-cost, efficient flow batteries

Green Car Congress

Schematic of a redox flow battery. Sandia researchers have developed a new family of electrochemically reversible, metal-based ionic liquid (MetILs) that could lead to non-aqueous redox (reducing-oxidizing) flow-battery energy storage systems ( earlier post ) able to cost-effectively store three times more energy than today’s batteries.

Ioxus Developing Higher Power Density Ultracapacitors

Green Car Congress

Typical ultracapacitors are characterized by high power density compared to batteries (but poor energy density), as well as quick charge and discharge. Smaller Ioxus cells offer a power density of 22-28 kW/kg, and larger cells offer densities of 12-15 kW/kg, said Chad Hall, COO of Ioxus. Earlier post.).

Solving the Electric Vehicle Charging Conundrum

Cars That Think

Will we have a universal standard for charging? And that will get you to your destination with something like 25 or 30 percent of battery range remaining. And do I understand that it's likely that that would set a de facto standard for all the non-Tesla world? John Voelcker There is already really a de facto standard.
