Electrovaya launches next generation of MN series of Li-ion SuperPolymer cells; claims energy densities exceeding 200 Wh/g

Green Car Congress

Electrovaya’s MN-HP series cells use commercially proven electrode materials such as graphite anodes and lithium metal mixed oxide cathodes. The company says that the MN-HP cells typically have 50-70% higher energy density than typical phosphate cells, and more than 120% higher energy density than lithium titanate cells.

Update on Select Argonne Lab Activity with HEV and PHEV Li-ion Batteries

Green Car Congress

New titanate system for HEVs. The manganese spinel system, Amine said, has excellent power capability—much better than any other existing lithium-ion system—allowing the possibility of designing small batteries, which could lead to significant cost reduction. New high energy composite cathode. Ni 0.175 Co 0.10 Mn 0.525 ]O 1.95

Penn State team devises solution for fast charging of Li-ion batteries at cold temperatures

Green Car Congress

Fundamentally, lithium plating is affected by the rate of ion conduction and diffusion in the electrolyte, lithium diffusion in graphite particles, and reaction kinetics at graphite surfaces. As such, a plug-in hybrid EV (PHEV) cell that can withstand a 4-C charge without lithium plating at 25 °C can only allow a 1.5-C
