MIT, Stanford and Toyota Research Institute use AI to predict accurately the useful life of batteries

Green Car Congress

Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Stanford University and the Toyota Research Institute (TRI) have discovered that combining comprehensive experimental data and artificial intelligence provide the key for accurately predicting the useful life of lithium-ion batteries before their capacities started to wane.

MIT team develops first supercapacitor made entirely from neat MOFs, without conductive additives or binders

Green Car Congress

Researchers at MIT have shown that a MOF (metal-organic framework) with high electrical conductivity—Ni 3 (2,3,6,7,10,11-hexaiminotriphenylene) 2 (Ni 3 (HITP) 2 )—can serve as the sole electrode material in a supercapacitor. Comparison of areal capacitances among various EDLC materials. —Mircea Dincă.

Stanford, CMU, MIT team reviews challenges to practical implementation of solid-state Li-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Toyota, which has been working on solid-state batteries for EVs for a number of years ( earlier post ), is in the news with a report by the Wall Street Journal that it will be ready to commercialize a solid-state battery by 2022. However, there remain a number of unresolved issues precluding commercialization at this point.

MIT/RAND Study Concludes Three Types of Alternative Jet Fuel May Be Available in Commercial Quantities Over the Next Decade

Green Car Congress

The focus of the work was on alternative jet fuels that could be available commercially in the next decade using primarily North American resources. The prospects for FT jet fuels depend crucially on construction of a few pioneer commercial plants in the next few years. From Hileman et al. Click to enlarge. million bpd. billion and $8.3
