Johnson Controls and Fraunhofer Gesellschaft collaborate on next-gen cooling systems for Li-ion battery packs; focus on 48V micro-hybrid system

Green Car Congress

Currently, systems with fans, compressors or pumps use energy to pull heat out of a battery. The technology is expected to be adopted in Europe first and then quickly move to the US, with global adoption starting in 2020. The collaboration will focus on technologies and thermal management strategies for Lithium-ion battery packs.

Lifecycle study finds that environmental impacts of silicon-anode Li-ion battery could be roughly comparable with conventional Li-ion battery

Green Car Congress

The results showed that more than 50% of most characterized impacts are generated from the battery operations, while the battery anode with SiNW material contributes to around 15% of global warming potential and 10% of human toxicity potential. The study is published in the ACS journal Environmental Science & Technology.
