New silicon-hydrogel composite Li-ion anode material shows long cycle life, easy manufacturability

Green Car Congress

A g -1 , the composite electrode exhibited a relatively stable reversible lithium capacity of 1,600 mAh g -1 for 1,000 deep cycles based on the weight of only Si. That makes a very powerful combination. The electrode can be continuously deep cycled up to 5,000 times without significant capacity decay.

PNNL study outlines requirements for grid storage, reviews four electrochemical energy storage systems: vanadium redox flow, Na-beta, Li-ion and lead-carbon

Green Car Congress

EES is already an established, valuable approach for improving the reliability and overall use of the entire power system (generation, transmission, and distribution [T&D]). In addition, it can provide services to solve more localized power quality issues and reactive power support. The need for storage.

Axion supplying PbC batteries to Norfolk Southern for all-battery switcher and working on line-haul hybrid locomotives; micro-hybrid and stationary expansion

Green Car Congress

In April, Axion Power International Inc received an order from Norfolk Southern Corp (NS) for PbC lead-carbon batteries for use in an all-battery-powered switcher locomotive. This larger, more powerful unit will require approximately twice the number of batteries as contained in the electric yard switcher. Source: NS.

The promise of wireless charging: smaller batteries, longer battery life, fewer charging stations

Charged EVs

We started from day one focusing on high-power wireless charging, and we developed a modular approach. We connect high-power communication lines into the DC charging system of the car. We have more efficient power electronics. We have lower EMF emissions than the people who are trying to do low-power wireless.
