Example of a lithium-water rechargeable battery. Researchers at the University of Texas, including Dr. John Goodenough, are proposing a strategy for high-capacity next-generation alkali (lithium or sodium)-ion batteries using water-soluble redox couples as the cathode. The present sodium-sulfur battery operates above 300 °C.

Graphite contains flat layers of carbon atoms, and during battery charging, lithium atoms are stored between these layers in a process called intercalation. This could help to develop a new generation of rechargeable batteries that use cheaper and more abundant metals than lithium, for example. Resources Bayhan, Z., El-Demellawi, J.

Initial studies revealed that antimony could be suitable for both rechargeable lithium- and sodium-ion batteries because it is able to store both kinds of ions. Sodium is regarded as a possible low-cost alternative to lithium as it is much more naturally abundant and its reserves are more evenly distributed on Earth.

From how much they cost and weigh to the amount of power they store and how long they take to charge, electric vehicle (EV) batteries have a significant impact on EVs themselves, the EV industry as a whole, and ultimately EV buyers. Researchers haven’t yet come up with a battery that does everything we want, but they’re making progress.

All hybrid, plug-in hybrid and full electric vehicles equipped with high-voltage, advanced rechargeable battery systems also utilize a second electrical system on 12V level for controls, comfort features, redundancy and safety features. In full-hybrid vehicles, the stored energy is also used for a certain range of electric driving.
