Faraday Institution commits a further $31M to battery research to deliver commercial impact

Green Car Congress

Research in these five areas will progress over the next two years to 31 March 2023, subject to funding renewal of the Faraday Institution itself beyond March 2022. The reshaping of the projects was a complex process that involved senior researchers, industry experts, EPSRC, and a panel of internationally recognised independent experts.

Can Flow Batteries Finally Beat Lithium?

Cars That Think

For the military, nanoelectrofuel batteries have obvious advantages over lithium-ion batteries as well as internal combustion engines, Kofford says. Then there are the new battery chemistries that are not lithium based—for instance, sodium-ion and graphene-based batteries. Both fuels aim to directly displace fossil fuels.

report by the International Energy Agency (IEA). Software also allows for the decoupling of the internal mechanical connections needed in an ICE vehicle, permitting an EV to be controlled remotely or autonomously. Tesla is moving towards the use of lithium-iron phosphate batteries, as is Ford for some of its vehicles.

How clean is EV battery manufacturing?

Electric Auto Association

Scientists inform us that today’s transportation sector is the largest contributor to US greenhouse gas emissions driving climate change, but how clean are lithium-ion batteries? First, it should be noted that while internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles produce 17.2% years if the car is charged using renewable energy.
