Woven carbon fiber can act as an electrode for lithium ion batteries. Researchers in Sweden are exploring the use of carbon fiber as an active electrode in a multifunctional structural Li-ion battery in an electric car; i.e., electrical storage is incorporated into the body of the car. 1 after ten full cycles.

ADL will focus initially on the introduction of the low emission technology to bus fleets in London and Oxford but anticipates rapid deployment across the UK in the next few years. ADL is now well established as Britain’s leading provider of advanced hybrid systems with almost 800 of our low carbon buses operating across the country.

In a simultaneous—and video linked—unveil in New York, London and Beijing, BMW introduced the production version of its i3 battery-electric vehicle on Monday. The SGL carbon fiber plant at Moses Lake, Washington, uses 100% hydropower. The production version of the i3. Click to enlarge. Earlier post.)

Working with University College London in the UK, we have been able to use synchrotron imaging to watch failures in real time which allows us to design solutions. The ISC is a major step towards making battery technologies safer. For the first time, we could trigger cells to fail at a known location and time.
