PNNL: single-crystal nickel-rich cathode holds promise for next-generation Li-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

High-energy nickel (Ni)–rich cathode will play a key role in advanced lithium (Li)–ion batteries, but it suffers from moisture sensitivity, side reactions, and gas generation. We observe reversible planar gliding and microcracking along the (003) plane in a single-crystalline Ni-rich cathode. —Bi et al.

Faradion demonstrates proof-of-concept sodium-ion electric bike

Green Car Congress

E-bike powered by Faradion prototype Na-ion battery pack. For the proof-of-concept, the cells were manufactured to be larger than necessary to avoid unnecessary costs and lengthy manufacturing processes at this early stage.

Researchers find tin nanoparticles promising electrode material for sodium-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Tin (Sn) shows promise as a robust electrode material for rechargeable sodium-ion (Na-ion) batteries, according to a new study by a team from the University of Pittsburgh and Sandia National Laboratory. Rechargeable Na-ion batteries work on the same basic principle as Li-ion batteries—i.e.,

High-capacity GQD-coated VO2 nanoarray electrodes for high-performance Li- and Na-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Researchers from Nanyang Technical University (NTU) in Singapore have shown high-capacity, high-rate, and durable lithium- and sodium-ion battery (LIB and NIB) performance using single-crystalline long-range-ordered bilayered VO 2 nanoarray electrodes. The VO 2 nanoarrays are supported on graphene foam (GF) and coated with a thin (?2
