Beijing, Argonne researchers develop new solid-state Li-ion battery; glassy nanocomposite electrolyte with ILs

Green Car Congress

In … solid-state LIBs [lithium-ion batteries], one important component that needs to be improved to make it more suitable for high performance applications is the electrolyte material. Such solid composite electrolytes also have been previously shown to reduce lithium dendrite formation and proliferation in lithium metal batteries.

Why Warren Buffett is investing in electric car company BYD - Apr. 13, 2009

Tony Karrer Delicious EVdriven

Why hes banking on an obscure Chinese electric car company and a CEO who - no joke - drinks his own battery fluid. BYD CEO Wang Chuan-Fu figured out how to make cheaper batteries than the Japanese by replacing machines with migrant workers. By about 2000, BYD had become one of the worlds largest manufacturers of cellphone batteries.
