Argonne National Laboratory, which has contributed heavily to the research and development of Li-ion battery technology, is now pursuing research into Lithium-air batteries. Li-air batteries use a catalytic air cathode that converts oxygen to lithium peroxide; an electrolyte; and a lithium anode.

Lithium-air (or lithium-oxygen) batteries potentially could offer three times the gravimetric energy of current Li-ion batteries (3500 Wh/kg at the cell level); as such, they are looked to a potential solution for long-range EVs.

Constructing a new catalyst that combines porous nanostructures and high catalytic activity would allow us to harness the advantages of Li-O 2 batteries for practical applications, such as long-range electric vehicles. error bars. In this case, the manganese oxide nanowires were actually made by the viruses. —Oh et al.

They begin by observing that the EU’s goal of 95 gCO 2 /km fleet average emissions by 2020 can only be met by means of extended range electric vehicles or all-electric vehicles in combination with the integration of renewable energy (e.g., the main obstacles to BEV consumer acceptance are driving range and cost. wind and solar).

Water will be the primary byproduct. A novel metal complex for electrolysis of water will be used to generate the hydrogen at high rates. This ARPA-E program seeks to develop a new generation of ultra-high energy density, low-cost battery technologies for long range plug-in hybrid and all-electric vehicles. per gallon.

Also on the list of five is the arrival of advanced batteries, including air batteries (e.g., Lithium air), but targeted initially at small devices. Kyoto University and IBM Research - Tokyo have developed a system that can simulate a broad range of urban transport situations involving millions of vehicles.
