PNNL: single-crystal nickel-rich cathode holds promise for next-generation Li-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

High-energy nickel (Ni)–rich cathode will play a key role in advanced lithium (Li)–ion batteries, but it suffers from moisture sensitivity, side reactions, and gas generation. Researchers are working on ways to store more energy in the cathode materials by increasing nickel content. —Bi et al.

Gravity Batteries, Green Hydrogen, and a Thorium Reactor for China

Cars That Think

As the pandemic continued to grind on, it was actually comforting to know that smart people in the energy sector were working hard to keep the lights on, advance the technology, and improve people’s lives. No battery is perfect, however, so engineers keep pushing for new and improved ways to store those electrons.

What is Home energy management system, why it is needed

Baua Electric

Energy Storage Systems Batteries or other storage systems can be integrated into a HEMS to store excess energy during periods of low demand and release it during peak demand times. These systems store excess energy generated during periods of high production and release it when demand is high or when renewable generation is low.

ARPA-E to award $30M to increase performance of solid ion conductors for batteries, fuel cells

Green Car Congress

IONICS also seeks to develop and apply methods for processing of solid ion conductors and their integration into electrochemical devices. Program Categories include: Lithium (Li) ion conductors that enable the cycling of Li metal without shorting; Selective and low-cost separators for batteries with liquid reactants (e.g.,
