RIKEN team develops high-performance lithium-iodine battery system with higher energy density than conventional Li-ion

Green Car Congress

The working concept of I3 – /I – redox reaction in the aqueous Li-I 2 battery. A team from Japan’s RIKEN, led by Hye Ryung Byon, has developed a lithium-iodine (Li-I 2 ) battery system with a significantly higher energy density than conventional lithium-ion batteries. Schematic illustration of the aqueous Li-I 2 battery.

Envia Systems announcement may herald the first wave of DOE-supported commercial high energy density Li-ion cells with Si-C anodes

Green Car Congress

As cycle life still needs to be improved for automotive applications (USABC long-term goals for EV batteries call for 1,000 cycles at 80% DOD and 10 years, earlier post ), the advanced batteries with their attractive energy densities may emerge earlier in critical portable power applications. high capacity, increased safety and low cost.

GWU team demonstrates one-pot process for optimized synthesis of controlled CNTs from CO2; coupling cement and C2CNT

Green Car Congress

In 2015 we demonstrated that specific transition metals at the cathode, such as Ni, Co, Cu and Fe, act as nucleation points for high yield carbon nanotube growth in molten carbonates. Addition of up to 50 mol% Na 2 CO 3 to a Li 2 CO 3 electrolyte decreases electrolyte costs and improves conditions for intercalation in Na-ion CNT anodes.
