A team at the University of Michigan (U-M) has used operando video microscopy to develop a comprehensive understanding of the voltage variations observed during Li metal cycling, which is directly correlated to dendrite growth. However, the Li-metal electrodes in these next-generation batteries are especially prone to forming dendrites.

Just as conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) cars measure fuel by the gallon, EV owners measure their energy consumption in kWh. This metric quantifies the energy transferred to an EV’s battery during charging, similar to filling up an ICE vehicle. Kentucky will implement the kWh tax starting in January 2024.

A hydraulic hybrid drivetrain uses hydraulic accumulators to store energy. Like other hybrid systems, energy saved when applying the brakes is reused to help accelerate the vehicle. Compared to batteries as an energy storage device for hybrids, the hydraulic accumulators offer a higher power density, but a lower energy density.
