A team from metals research institute SWERIM in Sweden reports on a smelting reduction process to recover cobalt, nickel, manganese and lithium simultaneously from spent Li-ion batteries. To provide a better reference for the industrial implementation, the proposed smelting process needs to be demonstrated on a pilot scale.

Battery electric trucks should be the baseline for hydrogen fuel cells electric vehicle (HFCEV) comparisons, rather than any internal combustion engine alternative. Hydrogen is a regional solution, cheap hydrogen even more so. Fill times are moving targets for both fuel cell and battery electric vehicles.

An international team from MIT, Argonne National Laboratory and Peking University has demonstrated a lab-scale proof-of-concept of a new type of cathode for Li-air batteries that could overcome the current drawbacks to the technology, including a high potential gap (>1.2 V) The researchers refer to these particles as nanolithia.

A reference antenna picks up a signal from, say, a cell tower, while a surveillance antenna is tuned to the same frequency. The reference and surveillance signals are compared. Building off the demand stimulated by this activity, a number of manufacturers have started making premium, but still relatively cheap, SDRs.

Three-electrode cells using Mg metal counter electrode and silver reference electrode were used. A team of researchers from Kyoto University has demonstrated ion-exchanged MgFeSiO 4 as a feasible cathode material for use in high-energy-density rechargeable magnesium batteries. Charge–discharge profiles of ion-exchanged MgFeSiO 4.

Tesla Cybertruck is ready for wireless inductive charging based on new connectors found on the electric pickup truck’s battery pack. Like I said, it doesn’t solve a major problem, and it’s likely not going to be cheap. The automaker never seemed interested in wireless charging for its electric vehicles.
