Argonne and Hanyang University Develop New High-Energy Cathode Material With Improved Thermal Stability; Good Fit for PHEV Applications

Green Car Congress

SEM of Li[Ni 0.64 Mn 0.18 ]O 2 particle with concentration gradient of Ni, Co, and Mn contents. The results, say the researchers, suggest that the cathode material could enable production of batteries that meet the demanding performance and safety requirements of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. From Sun et al.

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

Green Car Congress

Fast charging is seen as a solution for range and recharging time issues for EVs. Now, a team from Penn State has devised an approach that enables 15-min fast charging of Li-ion batteries in any temperatures (even at ? at 0 °C to prevent lithium plating, which explains the long recharge time of today’s EVs at low temperatures.
