The carbon nanofiber electrodes are substantially more porous than other carbon electrodes, and can therefore more efficiently store the solid oxidized lithium (Li 2 O 2 ) that fills the pores as the battery discharges. Thompson and Yang Shao-Horn (2011) All-carbon-nanofiber electrodes for high-energy rechargeable Li–O 2 batteries.

Carbon is seen as an attractive potential cathode material for aprotic (non-aqueous) Lithium-air batteries, which are themselves of great interest for applications such as in electric vehicles because of the cells’ high theoretical specific energy.

From how much they cost and weigh to the amount of power they store and how long they take to charge, electric vehicle (EV) batteries have a significant impact on EVs themselves, the EV industry as a whole, and ultimately EV buyers. The post What’s Happening in EV Battery Technology appeared first on Driivz.

The second round was focused specifically on three areas of technology representing new approaches for advanced microbial biofuels (electrofuels); much higher capacity and less expensive batteries for electric vehicles; and carbon capture. This process is less than 1% efficient at converting sunlight to stored chemical energy.
