Georgia Tech researchers develop aluminum-foil-based anodes for all-solid-state Li-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

The team observed that the aluminum anode could store more lithium than conventional anode materials, and therefore more energy. Instead of using pure aluminum in the foils, the researchers added small amounts of other materials to the aluminum to create foils with particular microstructures. Resources Liu, Y.,

Infineon introduces first Trusted Platform Module specifically for automotive cybersecurity

Green Car Congress

The TPM likewise generates, stores and administers further security keys for communication within the vehicle. It has an SPI interface, an extended temperature range from -40 °C to 105 °C and the advanced encryption algorithms RSA-2048, ECC-256 and SHA-256.

Study identifies main culprit behind lithium metal battery failure; counters conventional wisdom

Green Car Congress

As the battery cycles, its stores of active lithium and electrolyte are depleted. However, a major issue with lithium metal batteries is low Coulombic efficiency—i.e., they undergo a limited number of cycles before they stop working.

BMW Research, EURECOM and Technische Universität München collaborating on connected vehicle research

Green Car Congress

Such hardware accelerated cryptography is for example used for operations used in elliptic curve cryptography (ECC). In order to prevent, that sensitive personal information, e.g. “Recent destinations” in the navigation system, are not accessible by others, these data are stored securely when the driver leaves the vehicle.

Weebit Nano qualifies its ReRAM module for automotive-grade temperatures

Green Car Congress

The ReRAM module includes a 128Kb 1T1R ReRAM array, control logic, decoders, IOs (Input/Output communication elements) and error correcting code (ECC). Current memory technologies such as DRAM and Flash store data as an electrical charge; each technology does it in its own way.
