ION Storage Systems to partner with U Maryland on $4.8M ARPA-E EVs4ALL award

Green Car Congress

ION) will participate in the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) EVs4ALL program as part of a $­4.8-million million grant awarded to the University of Maryland (UMD). This design will increase the charge and discharge-rate capability, energy density and operative temperature of solid-state lithium batteries.

DOE: number of daily trips taken by Americans in 2021 rebounded from 2020 lows

Green Car Congress

Recent data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics presented by the US Department of Energy (DOE) showed that in November of 2021, the number of daily trips taken nationwide exceeded the number of trips taken in late 2019, before the pandemic significantly affected daily travel across the United States.

UMD, Army Researchers design new electrolyte enabling high energy density rechargeable Mg and Ca batteries

Green Car Congress

The low redox potential and large capacity of magnesium metal anode could also potentially provide an energy density comparable or even greater than that of lithium-ion batteries when paired with high voltage oxide cathodes. It’s the first time a magnesium battery theoretically reached a similar energy density as a lithium-ion battery.

New machine learning method accurately predicts battery state of health

Green Car Congress

We first understand battery degradation through collaborations with the CALCE group at the University of Maryland, where in-house degradation testing of batteries was carried out. By contrast, our work is built from the ground up. 2021) “Machine learning pipeline for battery state-of-health estimation.”
