SARI researchers propose novel method to enhance electrocatalytic conversion of CO2

Green Car Congress

CHEN Wei and WEI Wei from the Shanghai Advanced Research Institute (SARI) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences reported a novel method that enables efficient CO 2 electroreduction to CO by virtue of low-coordination chloride ion adsorption on a silver hollow fiber (Ag HF) electrode. A research team led by Profs. and Sun, Y.

MIT: hybrid cathodes could boost energy capacity of lithium-sulfur batteries

Green Car Congress

Researchers at MIT and in China are proposing a new class of dense intercalation-conversion hybrid cathodes by combining intercalation-type Mo 6 S 8 with conversion-type sulfur (HMSC) to realize a Li–S full cell. 1 and a volumetric energy density of 581?Wh?l Design strategy for jointly high gravimetric–volumetric energy density.

CRU: lithium price downtrend continues, with disappointing EV sales in China the driver

Green Car Congress

Lithium carbonate prices in China dropped between January and August 2019 by nearly 20% since the beginning of 2019 to RMB 65,000/t, equivalent to $9.25/kg CRU calculates that the Li-ion battery sector accounts for 60% of lithium demand in China, of which EV and portable electronics have the largest share.

IDTechEx calculates ~31 GWh of electric vehicle markets beyond cars in 2021

Green Car Congress

For example, IDTechEx expects that lithium-metal and solid-state batteries, axial flux motors, and carbon fiber materials will play an important role in eVTOL markets. Upcoming IMO policy includes an ‘Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI)’ and the Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII). Today, subsidies have been greatly reduced.
