Scientists from Idaho National Laboratory and the University of California San Diego have shown that slow, low-energy charging causes lithium atoms to deposit on electrodes in a disorganized way that improves charging behavior. Lithium metal is a preferred anode for high-energy rechargeable batteries. —Wang et al.

The findings could pave the way for bringing rechargeable lithium metal batteries from the lab to the market. They promise twice the energy density of today’s lithium-ion batteries with graphite anodes, so they could last longer and weigh less. Shirley Meng, a nanoengineering professor at UC San Diego.

The Pacifica Hybrid has a regenerative braking system, which recharges the 16-kilowatt-hour (kWh) lithium-ion (li-ion) battery. So driving around town, stuck in stop-and-go rush hour highway traffic, or coasting down hills recharges the battery. San Diego to San Francisco? Charlotte to Orlando?
