Berkeley Lab team demonstrates high-rate, high-energy, long-life Li/S battery in the lab; looking for industry partners

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the US Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have demonstrated in the laboratory a lithium-sulfur (Li/S) battery that has more than twice the specific energy of lithium-ion batteries, and that lasts for more than 1,500 cycles of charge-discharge with minimal decay of the battery’s capacity.

Can Flow Batteries Finally Beat Lithium?

Cars That Think

Monique closes her EV’s fueling port and heads onto the highway with enough stored energy to drive 640 kilometers (400 miles). The battery in her EV is a variation on the flow battery , a design in which spent electrolyte is replaced rather than recharged. The recharging could also be done at a service station or in the EV itself.
