Prieto introduces latest prototype of 3D Li-ion battery with 3-minute charging

Green Car Congress

All three attributes of Prieto’s lithium-ion battery were tested and validated by a third-party accredited battery testing lab, Prieto said. Today’s batteries use a 2D architecture comprising stacked layers that must always compromise between energy storage and fast charging.

Li-ion batteries from drones might find second lives in less demanding devices – Charged EVs

Baua Electric

The researchers manufactured a set of lithium-ion battery (LiB) cells containing a specially designed, fast-charging and discharging electrolyte. They drained 15 times the battery’s optimal capacity, the total amount of energy it could store, for 45 seconds to simulate the discharge needed during vertical takeoff.

KERI researchers develop high-capacity Li-metal battery with improved rate performance and stability

Green Car Congress

A research team at Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute (KERI) has developed a high-capacity Li-metal battery with improved rate performance and stability using a one-dimensional Li-confinable porous hollow carbon host. However, these hosts suffer from unwanted Li growth on their surface (i.e., Kang et al.

IIT, Argonne team designs Li2O-based Li-air battery with solid electrolyte; four-electron reaction for higher energy density

Green Car Congress

The team’s battery chemistry with the solid electrolyte can potentially boost the energy density by as much as four times above lithium-ion batteries, which translates into longer driving range. A lithium-air battery based on lithium oxide (Li 2 O) formation can theoretically deliver an energy density that is comparable to that of gasoline.
