Sion Power reports 400 Wh/kg, 700 Wh/L and 350 cycles under 1C for Li-ion battery with Li-metal anode technology

Green Car Congress

Sion Power reported that a Licerion-Ion system has achieved 400 Wh/kg, 700 Wh/L and 350 cycles under 1C discharge conditions. Dr. Yuriy Mikhaylik, Sion Power’s Director of Materials, is presenting details on this performance in an invited presentation at the ECS meeting in Honolulu this week. Click to enlarge.

ZSW develops process for Li-ion batteries with extended cycle life; 10,000 charge cycles

Green Car Congress

Scientists at the Zentrum für Sonnenenergie- und Wasserstoff-Forschung Baden-Württemberg (ZSW) (Center for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research Baden-Württemberg) have developed Li-ion batteries that have already demonstrated a very high cycle life of more than 10,000 full cycles with retention of more than 85% of original capacity.

Fraunhofer researchers report significant extension to Li-S cycle life with silicon anodes and CNT-sulfur composite cathodes

Green Car Congress

Li 2 S) can be accommodated more easily, leading to better cycle stabilities. In work reported in a paper in the Journal of Power Sources , the Fraunhofer teams found that the sulfur mass can be varied between 3 and 20 mg cm ? By comparison, the maximum energy density of the lithium-ion batteries currently in use is around 250 Wh/kg.
