Stanford team develops ultra-fast aluminum-ion battery with stability over thousands of cycles

Green Car Congress

Aluminum has long been an attractive material for batteries, mainly because of its low cost, low flammability and high-charge storage capacity. For decades, researchers have tried unsuccessfully to develop a commercially viable aluminum-ion battery. Our new battery won’t catch fire, even if you drill through it.

Improving the Charge-Discharge Capacity and Cycleability of Carbon Electrodes for Li-ion Batteries

Green Car Congress

However, carbon remains the predominant commercial anode material solution at this point. Researchers at Feng Chia University in Taiwan have developed a procedure to prepare surface-modified mesophase pitch carbon to increase the charge-discharge capacity and cycleability of carbon electrodes for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs).

Will AI Steal Submarines’ Stealth?

Cars That Think

This timing is particularly significant because the enormous costs required to design and build a submarine are meant to be spread out over at least 60 years. Nuclear-powered submarines, such as the Virginia - class fast-attack submarine, each cost roughly US $2.8 billion , according to the U.S. billion , according to the U.S.

The Day the U.S. TV Industry Died

Cars That Think

Zenith manufactures the first commercial radio set to operate on ac. production facilities, in Matamoros, Mexico, and in Taiwan, and patents surface-wave intermediate-frequency filter. Zenith disagrees, and a spokesman said the company’s lack of patent activity overseas was due to cost concerns. Zenith opens its first non-U.S.
