More details on work supporting NEC prototype 4.5V Li-ion battery; modified LiNiMnO cathode and fluorinated electrolyte

Green Car Congress

NEC Corporation has developed a prototype next-generation manganese lithium-ion battery featuring cathodes that support higher voltage operations (4.5V Honolulu PRiME 2012. rather than 3.8V) and an electrolyte solution that improves the stability of the higher voltage operations. Earlier post.) With LiNi 0.5 x Ti x O 4 cathode.

Fraunhofer researchers report significant extension to Li-S cycle life with silicon anodes and CNT-sulfur composite cathodes

Green Car Congress

According to Dr. Holger Althues, head of the Chemical Surface Technology group at IWS, by using the combination of silicon anode and composite carbon nanotube/sulfur cathode materials, the team has extended the cycle life of lithium-sulfur button cells from 200 cycles to 1,400 cycles.
