Univ. of Texas researchers propose lithium- or sodium-water batteries as next generation of high-capacity battery technology; applicable for EVs and grid storage

Green Car Congress

John Goodenough, are proposing a strategy for high-capacity next-generation alkali (lithium or sodium)-ion batteries using water-soluble redox couples as the cathode. The present sodium-sulfur battery operates above 300 °C. A = lithium or sodium (Li or Na), M represents a metal and 1 ≤ n < z. —Lu et al.

UT Austin team devises new strategy for safe, low-cost, all-solid-state rechargeable Na or Li batteries suited for EVs

Green Car Congress

John Goodenough, known around the world for his pioneering work that led to the invention of the rechargeable lithium-ion battery, have devised a new strategy for a safe, low-cost, all-solid-state rechargeable sodium or lithium battery cell that has the required energy density and cycle life for a battery that powers an all-electric road vehicle.

Energy Harvesting for Wearable Technology Steps Up

Cars That Think

For capacitors, voltage translates to electrons stored —the voltage drop across a capacitor is proportional to its total charge.) The team was inspired by self-winding watches , which have existed since the late 18th century and transform wrist movement into energy. volts for about 60 hours.

Aqua Metals is building a more sustainable battery recycling ecosystem

Charged EVs

Pyrometallurgy, which traditionally doesn’t recover carbon or lithium, seems likely to be phased out. Aqua Metals works with companies that are really good at collecting, safely transporting, storing, crushing and separating spent lithium-ion batteries. That’s a whole suite of capabilities and technologies to generate that black mass.

Rio Tinto commits $2.4B for Jadar lithium project; planning 58,000 tons/year lithium carbonate by 2029

Green Car Congress

The Jadar project would support the evolution of Rio Tinto—one of the world’s largest miners—into a chemical producer to make battery-grade lithium carbonate, a critical mineral used in large-scale batteries for electric vehicles and storing renewable energy. This is a significant moment for the lithium industry.
