Metal negative electrodes that alloy with lithium have high theoretical charge storage capacity and are ideal candidates for developing high-energy rechargeable batteries. The new battery system is detailed in an open-access paper in Nature Communications. Resources Liu, Y., Nat Commun 14, 3975 doi: 10.1038/s41467-023-39685-x

UK-based Electric Car Corporation Plc ( ECC ) has officially launched an all-electric version of the Citroën C1, the C1 ev’ie. The 4-seater electric car offers a range of 60-70 miles when fully charged and a top speed of around 60 mph. Its Li-ion battery pack can be fully charged in 6-7 hours from a domestic 13 amp socket.

Too much ion flow causes anode materials to swell and then shrink during charge-discharge cycles, causing mechanical degradation that shortens battery life. The small test batteries we fabricated showed promising charge-discharge performance, so we would like to evaluate the materials in larger batteries. —Matthew McDowell.
