EnerDel Teams With Nissan on Electrolyte Research at Argonne Lab

Green Car Congress

Earlier work at ANL on novel silane compounds for use as non-aqueous electrolyte solvents in lithium-ion batteries found that the silane molecules can easily dissolve most lithium salts including LiBOB, LiPF 6 , LiBF 4 , and lithium trifluoromethylsulfonimide. EnerDel is currently wrapping up an 18-month, $2.5 O 2 material.
