Skylark Restaurants in Japan to offer free EV recharging at 900 locations

Green Car Congress

The Skylark restaurant group in Japan plans to offer free EV public recharging at their 900 locations around Japan, with no obligation to be a customer of the restaurant. Skylark will be gradually supplementing these with fast chargers as well, so customers will be able to get a full charge while they eat. Integrity Exports.

Georgia Tech researchers develop aluminum-foil-based anodes for all-solid-state Li-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Metal negative electrodes that alloy with lithium have high theoretical charge storage capacity and are ideal candidates for developing high-energy rechargeable batteries. The team observed that the aluminum anode could store more lithium than conventional anode materials, and therefore more energy. Sloan Foundation.

How Businesses and Building Owners Can Save on Energy Costs with Smart EV Charging and Energy Management

Driivz

Installing and operating EV charging stations offers businesses and owners of commercial and industrial buildings a winning proposition. EV charging itself creates a new “green” revenue opportunity. Building owners can work with a charge point operator or EV service provider to install and manage the EV chargers.

UT and ORNL researchers develop new class of pseudocapacitor; anion-based intercalation pseudocapacitance

Green Car Congress

Unlike other devices, the team’s is the first to utilize oxygen anions (negatively-charged ions) instead of cations (positive ions) to store its energy. The device uses a perovskite material (LaMnO 3 ), a structure containing vacant sites where oxygen anions can be stored, making these advancements a possibility. Resources.

Thermal Energy Storage Is No Longer Just Hot Air

Cars That Think

The company is building these shipping container systems, which work like giant batteries that store energy as heat and pressurized air , rather than a chemical reaction (Cheesecake’s name is derived from a nerdy acronym for their technology.) They gradually lose capacity with each discharge and recharge cycle, and they can be fire hazards.

OSU hybrid “solar battery” uses photo-assisted charging to improve performance of Li-air batteries; “negative overpotential”

Green Car Congress

The team, led by Yiying Wu, professor of chemistry and biochemistry, integrated a dye-sensitized photoelectrode into a lithium-oxygen battery along with the oxygen electrode to enable “photo-assisted charging” of the Li-air cell. The photovoltage generated on the photoelectrode compensates the battery’s charging voltage.
