Can Flow Batteries Finally Beat Lithium?

Cars That Think

For the military, nanoelectrofuel batteries have obvious advantages over lithium-ion batteries as well as internal combustion engines, Kofford says. Then there are the new battery chemistries that are not lithium based—for instance, sodium-ion and graphene-based batteries.

A closer look at graphite—its forms, functions and future in EV batteries

Charged EVs

Graphite is a pure form of carbon. Its physical structure allows it to store lithium ions. This crystalline carbon allotrope is good for more than just pencils—it’s found in every EV battery anode, and producing graphite in the forms needed to build high-performance battery cells is a complex and exacting process.

How clean is EV battery manufacturing?

Electric Auto Association

Scientists inform us that today’s transportation sector is the largest contributor to US greenhouse gas emissions driving climate change, but how clean are lithium-ion batteries? First, it should be noted that while internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles produce 17.2% What is the impact on the EV lifecycle carbon footprint?
