PNNL: single-crystal nickel-rich cathode holds promise for next-generation Li-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Scientists at the US Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) report new findings about how to make a single-crystal, nickel-rich cathode hardier and more efficient. We observe reversible planar gliding and microcracking along the (003) plane in a single-crystalline Ni-rich cathode. —Bi et al.

Faradion demonstrates proof-of-concept sodium-ion electric bike

Green Car Congress

For the proof-of-concept, the cells were manufactured to be larger than necessary to avoid unnecessary costs and lengthy manufacturing processes at this early stage. Sodium-ion intercalation batteries—i.e., Thus, insertion/deinsertion of sodium ions in a host material is much more difficult than that of lithium ions.

UCSD researchers improve method to recycle and renew used cathodes from Li-ion batteries via eutectic molten salts

Green Car Congress

The new process is safer and uses less energy than their previous method ( earlier post ) in restoring cathodes to their original capacity and cycle performance. Zheng Chen, a professor of nanoengineering who is affiliated with the Sustainable Power and Energy Center at UC San Diego, led the project. Energy Mater. O 2 (0 Adv.
