Researchers use carbon-based anodes with “bumpy” surfaces for Li-ion batteries that last longer in extreme cold

Green Car Congress

the key to addressing the low-temperature capacity loss lies in adjusting the surface electron configurations of the carbon anode to reinforce the coordinate interaction between the solvated Li + and adsorption sites for Li + desolvation and reduce the activation energy of the charge-transfer process. —Lu et al.

Researchers present two-step recycling approach for all-solid-state Li-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Researchers from Technische Universität Darmstadt, Universität Stuttgart, Justus-Liebig-Universität Giessen, and Universität des Saarlandes have developed a two-step recycling approach for all-solid-state Li-ion batteries (lithium ASSBs). Within such ASSBs, the use of solid-electrolytes like garnet-type Li 6.5 Waidha et al.
