Hanyang team develops new Li-metal battery for EV operating conditions; outperforms LMBs in the literature

Green Car Congress

The new LMB is capable of fast charging while delivering a high energy density. In general, however, fast charging accelerates the deleterious dendritic growth of Li and thus aggravates the parasitic reactions between the Li–metal anode and electrolyte. Their open-access paper appears in the RSC journal Energy & Environmental Science.

Paul Scherrer Institute and Toyota RD team finds tiny memory effect in Li-ion batteries; implications for vehicle battery management systems

Green Car Congress

The memory effect of the battery is written in a cycle with partial charging (here, 50% of the battery’s storage capacity) followed by complete discharge. In the subsequent cycle, the memory effect is evident through an overvoltage (small “bump”) at precisely the same point at which the partial charging cycle terminates.
