RMIT researchers demonstrate working rechargeable proton battery

Green Car Congress

The rechargeable battery is environmentally friendly, and has the potential, with further development, to store more energy than currently-available lithium ion batteries. These protons then pass back through the cell membrane where they combine with oxygen and electrons from the external circuit to re-form water. Earlier post.)

COVID-19 outbreak poised to strengthen EV momentum and the markets for cobalt and copper

Green Car Congress

Among other things, the government is to promote vehicle sales in rural areas, update vehicle fleets in urban areas, and strengthen construction of electric vehicle charging infrastructure. To automakers, meanwhile, the COVID19 lockdowns offer a rare opportunity to take a step back and re-evaluate long-term strategies.

UC Riverside team develops new coating strategy for Li-metal anodes to prevent dendrite formation

Green Car Congress

The coating layer can generate better control of the lithium ion flow and suppress the lithium dendrite growth and therefore form a uniform and stable solid electrolyte interphase. High capacity lithium (Li) ion batteries are highly desirable now for applications in consumer electronics, electrical vehicles, and grid storage.
