Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have developed a self-assembling three-dimensional nanostructure for battery cathodes (Li-ion and NiMH) that allows for faster charging and discharging without sacrificing energy storage capacity. Most capacitors store very little energy. Click to enlarge. This does both.

At the Frankfurt Motor Show, Toyota will showcase the Yaris Hybrid-R concept, created as a showcase of possible ideas for the development of hybrid technology for maximum performance and increased driving pleasure. Just as in the TS030 HYBRID, the energy recovered during the braking phase is stored in a supercapacitor. Earlier post.)

The overall drive system in the BMW ActiveHybrid X6 consists of a 400 hp (298 kW) twin-turbocharged V8 gasoline engine and two electric synchronous motors delivering 91 hp (68 kW) and 86 hp (64 kW), respectively. Energy storage is provided by a NiMH battery pack positioned beneath the floor of the luggage compartment. Earlier post.).

In the first and third fixed gear both electric motors work synchronously, providing either additional energy for acceleration (boost) or storing the braking and coasting energy (recuperation). The electrical energy in the ML 450 HYBRID is stored in a compact, 2.4 kWh, 288V liquid-cooled high-voltage NiMH battery pack.

Third party converters have spent time and resources tweaking their plug-in hybrids to meet ARB testing written with gasoline-only hybrids in mind. They are busy proving, despite automaker resistance, that the plug-in hybrid concept is worth pursuing. As in this NY Times story entitled Challenging Gasoline from a few days ago.

Dont PHEVs just shift pollution from gasoline cars to power plants? Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) is the concept of using stored energy in a plug-in hybrids (or electric cars) battery to send power to the electrical grid when necessary. Lithium-Ion batteries share many characteristics with NiMH. What about battery safety?
