Researchers synthesize battery cathode from lignin derivatives

Green Car Congress

Grzegorz Milczarek from Poznan University of Technology (Poland), and Olle Inganäs from Linköping University (Sweden), have combined lignin derivatives, which are electronic insulators, with polypyrole, a conductive polymer, into an interpenetrating composite suitable for use as a battery cathode. 1 (inner to outer).

What V2G Tells Us About EVs and the Grid

Cars That Think

For utilities looking for ways to store power for later use, all those shiny new EVs might look like rolling batteries that they can not only charge but also draw power from when demand exceeds supply. million EVs sold worldwide in 2021, according to Sweden-based analysts EV Volumes , Europe also showed strong growth.
