Projects selected for the Electric Vehicles for American Low-Carbon Living (EVs4ALL) program ( earlier post ) aim to expand domestic EV adoption by developing batteries that last longer, charge faster, perform efficiently in freezing temperatures and have better overall range retention. Award amount: $3,198,085). Award amount: $2,120,120).

Researchers at the University of Maryland have developed a nanocomposite material of amorphous, porous FePO 4 nanoparticles electrically wired by single-wall carbon nanotubes as a potential cathode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). SWNT composite is a promising cathode material for viable sodium-ion batteries.

This includes research on appropriate anodes, cathodes, and electrolytes for magnesium (Mg)-, sodium (Na)-, and lithium (Li)-based batteries and novel transition metal oxide- and nitride-based supercapacitor electrode materials. Sodium is another element that is less expensive than lithium. Earlier post.) Novel cathodes and anodes.
