UCSD team develops new disordered rock salt anode for fast-charging, safer lithium-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Researchers at UC San Diego, with their colleagues at other institutions, have developed a new anode material that enables lithium-ion batteries to be safely recharged within minutes for thousands of cycles. So with this material we can make fast-charging, safe batteries with a long life, without sacrificing too much energy density.

Researchers move closer to faster-charging Li-ion batteries; real-time tracking of Li ions in LTO

Green Car Congress

A team of scientists led by the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has captured in real time how lithium ions move in lithium titanate (LTO), a fast-charging battery electrode material made of lithium, titanium, and oxygen.

EV's and Indian Manufacturing: Prof. Ashok Jhunjhunwaala | Visit to IIT Madras

Plug In India

This was the first e-veritto, and at 15,000 kilometres the battery needed to be replaced! ​Naturally, we started by talking about batteries. When IITM started work on battery packs 5 years ago, they were quite underwhelmed. Given cell costs, most Indian manufacturers undersize their batteries.
