PATHION develops new LiRAP-based solid-state electrolytes for Li-sulfur and sodium-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

At the Spring 2015 Materials Research Conference in San Francisco earlier this month, PATHION presented two new derivative superionic solid-state electrolytes built upon LiRAP (Lithium-Rich Anti-Perovskite). PATHION is working on a derivative for Li-sulfur batteries as well as a derivative that could be applied in a sodium-ion battery.

Moreover, dissolved TMs eventually waft to the anode side where they can be reduced and accumulated, similar to the ‘shuttling effect’ in lithiumsulfur batteries, leading to the destruction of the anode’s solid–electrolyte interphase (SEI), consumption of active Li, and impedance growth. —Jeremiah Johnson.

Update on JCESR’s progress toward 5-5-5 battery for EV and grid applications; convergent and divergent research strategies

Green Car Congress

Although Li-O 2 batteries fall into this category, JECSR’s analysis found that storing energy in lithium-oxygen chemical bonds is less feasible than previously thought due to the cost of energy density penalty of dealing with a high-purity gaseous oxygen electrode.

A closer look at graphite—its forms, functions and future in EV batteries

Charged EVs

Solid-state, lithium-sulfur, sodium batteries—would all of these still be using graphite in the anode? There’s also pre-lithiation of the anode which is kind of preloading it with lithium ions. So the mix of graphite varies by manufacturer, by car model, etc. Charged : What about future battery technologies?
