Harvard develops a solid state battery that charges in minutes

Baua Electric

Researchers at Harvard University have developed a new solid state battery that can be recharged in 10 minutes. The research published in Nature Materials describes a new way to make solid-state batteries with a lithium metal anode. That creates an uneven, non-homogeneous surface on the anode, and allows dendrites to take root.

Li MEGA mpv is Li Auto’s first natural electrical automobile, with untouched CATL battery and 800V platform

Baua Electric

No longer “X”, now not “W01”, Li Auto’s first natural electrical automobile is known as Li MEGA. Li MEGA can be a luxurious MPV concentrated on the automobile marketplace department above 500,000 yuan (70,100 USD), as introduced throughout the automaker’s Society Tech Pace on June seventeenth. This buyer was once Li Auto.

Li-Ion Battery Researchers Work To Improve Precision Measurements of Charging, Estimations of Cycle Life; Highlight Need For Further Order of Magnitude Improvement In Accuracy

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia have called for new tools that can more accurately measure an electrochemical cell’s Coulombic efficiency (CE) when evaluating cycle life of lithium-ion cells as well as other battery chemistries. Such CE measurements would have to be precise on the scale of at least ±0.01%.”

CCM: LiPF6 industry in China may face overcapacity in 2017

Green Car Congress

Soaring prices for and profits from LiPF 6 —lithium hexafluorophosphate, the dominant Li-salt used in electrolytes in commercial rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) based on a graphite anode and a 3–4 V cathode material—has encouraged enterprises in China to expand LiPF 6 production while also attracting new players.
