Freudenberg Sealing Technologies offers material testing for lithium-ion battery electrolytes

Green Car Congress

Freudenberg Sealing Technologies (FST) has expanded its material testing capabilities to include performance and compatibility evaluations of the rubber, elastomers and thermoplastics used to seal and safely maintain lithium-ion batteries. Lithium-ion material testing, however, requires a unique set of inputs to safely succeed.

ICL model predicts lithium-ion batteries most competitive for storage applications by 2030

Green Car Congress

The model predicts lithium-ion batteries to be the cheapest technology in the coming decades. We have found that lithium-ion batteries are following in the footsteps of crystalline silicon solar panels. Researchers at Imperial College London (ICL) developed a model to determine the lifetime costs (i.e.,
