Fraunhofer researchers develop new low-cost dry-film electrode production process

Green Car Congress

BroadBit uses it to produce new types of sodium-ion batteries. The new film transfer technology for dry electrode coating, on the other hand, operates without these ecologically damaging and expensive process steps: The IWS engineers mix their active material with binding polymers. They process this dry mixture in a rolling mill.

Univ. of Texas researchers propose lithium- or sodium-water batteries as next generation of high-capacity battery technology; applicable for EVs and grid storage

Green Car Congress

John Goodenough, are proposing a strategy for high-capacity next-generation alkali (lithium or sodium)-ion batteries using water-soluble redox couples as the cathode. The present sodium-sulfur battery operates above 300 °C. A = lithium or sodium (Li or Na), M represents a metal and 1 ≤ n < z. V was developed.

Univ. of Maryland team develops tin-film on wood fiber anode for Na-ion batteries; targeting grid storage

Green Car Congress

A team at the University of Maryland has demonstrated that a material consisting of a thin tin (Sn) film deposited on a hierarchical conductive wood fiber substrate is an effective anode for a sodium-ion (Na-ion) battery, and addresses some of the limitations of other Na-ion anodes such as capacity fade due to pulverization. —Zhu et al.

DOE to award up to $12M for applied RD in hydrogen storage technologies

Green Car Congress

As hydrogen storage material technology is developed, similar needs will exist for low-cost, moderate pressure tanks (e.g., DOE will also consider novel tank designs and concepts that reduce costs over current 350 and 700 bar ambient temperature pressure tanks while having the potential to meet or exceed DOE 2015 performance targets.
