The fuel economy and emissions of their cars are a sensitive issue for these buyers, so the company could be particularly hard-hit following an.

Researchers at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology & Engineering in China have developed new hybrid electrolytes to support high-voltage Li-ion batteries (e.g., ~5 volts) by incorporating a liquid electrolyte with silane-Al 2 O 3 nanoparticles (Al 2 O 3 -ST for short). The result combines the merits of both solid and liquid electrolytes. In a paper in the Journal of Power Sources , they report that the cycling stability and rate capacity of LiNi 0.5 Mn 1.5 O 4 /Li batteries are improved

In an open-access paper published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), the researchers suggested that discrepancy can be explained by the growing relative co

The hotbed of electric cars so far has been the U.S. West Coast. California, of course, is the leader, with its zero-emissions vehicle mandates. Going up the coast, the selection—and sales—get steadily thinner, but remain conspicuous. Now the Evergreen State, which has a strong electric-car presence even though it does not follow.
