GMP40 (60:40 weight ratio of mixed mesophase pitch carbon and phenolic resin) produced the best results. However, carbon remains the predominant commercial anode material solution at this point. Some studies have demonstrated that carbon coating of graphite improves the anode performance in LIBs. Credit: ACS, Lin et al.

A team from the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology (SIAT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a novel, environmentally friendly low-cost battery. Compared with conventional LIBs, this battery (AGDIB) shows an advantage in production cost (~ 50% lower), specific density (~1.3-2.0

The reversible redox reaction without the formation of resistive solid products promotes rechargeability, demonstrating 100 cycles with negligible capacity fading. Li metal with 1 M of LiPF 6 in ethylene carbonate (EC)/dimethyl carbonate (DMC) electrolyte was used for the anode. kWh kg -1 cell (1.0 500 km) [311 miles].

The project to demonstrate Faradion’s sodium-ion battery technology has been part-funded by Innovate UK, the UK’s innovation agency in its latest competition for ‘disruptive technologies in low carbon vehicles’. Faradion Limited was established in 2011 to develop low-cost, non-aqueous sodium-ion (Na-ion) rechargeable batteries.

The data for 10 nm Sn (tin) NCs are shown for comparison. One molar LiPF6 in ethylene carbonate/dimethyl carbonate mixture containing 3 wt % of FEC was used as electrolyte for Li-ion cells, whereas 1 M NaClO 4 in propylene carbonate containing 10 wt % of FEC was used for Na-ion batteries. 20C (1C = 0.66 V potential range.

Comparison of biomass-to-wheel (BTW) efficiency for different biomass utilization scenarios. Because of the same input and output in all cases, an increase in energy conversion efficiency nearly equals impact reductions in carbon and water footprints on the environment. Huang and Zhang.
