UCSD team develops new disordered rock salt anode for fast-charging, safer lithium-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

In addition, a lithium-ion battery with a disordered rock salt Li 3 V 2 O 5 anode yields a cell voltage much higher than does a battery using a commercial fast-charging lithium titanate anode or. other intercalation anode candidates (Li 3 VO 4 and LiV 0.5

Solar Impulse 2 used Kokam Ultra High Energy NMC batteries in round-the-world solar flight

Green Car Congress

In addition, a few adjustments have been made to the engine housing, which shelters both the battery and engine: an air vent was added to let air flow into the battery’s cooling system. In addition to the Ultra High Energy NMC cells, Kokam offers High Power NMC cells, Ultra High Power NMC cells and Lithium Titanate cells.

EV's and Indian Manufacturing: Prof. Ashok Jhunjhunwaala | Visit to IIT Madras

Plug In India

Tesla has done a lot of engineering work in the cylindrical cells area, but it is unlikely that others are going to follow suit. The Germans are better – as they are good at both electrical and mechanical, alas only for the German environment. I was a little unsure about how the absorbed heat is released to the environment.
