Scheme of the semi-solid flow cell (SSFC) system using flowing lithium-ion cathode and anode suspensions. The SSFC could enable new models such as transportation ‘fuels’ tuned for power versus range, or cold versus warm climates, with flexible refueling and recycling options. Source: Duduta et al.

Jülich researchers developing fast-charging solid-state batteries

Green Car Congress

Their battery takes less than an hour to recharge. The battery, described in a paper in the journal ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces , uses a monolithic all-phosphate concept based on screen-printed thick LiTi 2 (PO 4 ) 3 anode and Li 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 cathode composite layers on a densely sintered Li 1.3 —Rüdiger-A.

Technical review outlines challenges for both batteries and fuel cells as basis for electric vehicles

Green Car Congress

Next, we will briefly review the current status and the expected future progress in lithium ion battery (LiB) technology, which is currently used to power BEVs. Driving range could also be increased by reducing energy consumption per mile … which can be accomplished by the use of light-weight materials (e.g., Source: Gröger et al.
