Fire risks associated with li-ion batteries & safety

Electric Vehicles India

Fire risks associated with li-ion batteries & safety. The demand for lithium-ion battery-powered road vehicles continues to increase around the world day by day. Electric vehicles have now proven to reduce emissions and operate more efficiently than vehicles driven by fossil fuels. Fire risks with li-ion batteries.

Fraunhofer suggests e-scooters as application for its magnesium hydride paste hydrogen storage technology

Green Car Congress

kWh/liter—about 10 times the capacity of Li-Ion batteries. Hydrogen is not currently an option for small vehicles such as electric scooters and motorcycles, since the pressure surge during refilling would be too great. It has a hydrogen capacity of about 10 mass-% (i.e. 10 kg POWERPASTE ? 1 kg hydrogen).

3D self-assembling nanostructure for cathodes enables very rapid charge and discharge without sacrificing capacity; potential for EVs

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have developed a self-assembling three-dimensional nanostructure for battery cathodes (Li-ion and NiMH) that allows for faster charging and discharging without sacrificing energy storage capacity. Most capacitors store very little energy. This does both.
