24M Technologies introduces new recycling process for its SemiSolid EV batteries – Charged EVs

Baua Electric

Massachusetts-based 24M Technologies , an MIT spinout that has a partnership agreement with Volkswagen, has unveiled a new recycling process for its SemiSolid EV batteries. After the materials are recovered, they’re cleaned and, if necessary, re-lithiated to bring them back to their original performance levels.

MIT/Tsinghua high-rate aluminum yolk-shell nanoparticle anode for Li-ion battery with long cycle life and high capacity

Green Car Congress

A team of researchers at MIT and Tsinghua University has developed a high-rate, high-capacity and long-lived anode for Li-ion batteries comprising a yolk-shell nanocomposite of aluminum core (30 nm in diameter) and TiO 2 shell (~3 nm in thickness), with a tunable interspace (Al@TiO 2 , or ATO). The charge/discharge rate was set at 1 C.

Berkeley Lab researchers shed light on how lithium-rich cathodes work, opening the door to higher capacity batteries

Green Car Congress

The traditional design paradigm for Li-ion battery cathodes has been to create compounds in which the amount of extractable Li + is well balanced with an oxidizable transition metal (TM) species (such as Mn, Fe, Co or Ni) to provide the charge-compensating electrons, all contained in an oxide or sulfide host.
