ARPA-E awarding $36M to 22 projects in RANGE program for transformative EV storage

Green Car Congress

For example, the University of California, San Diego will receive approximately $3.5 University of Houston. The University of Houston (UH) will develop a battery using a novel water-based, lithium-ion chemistry that makes use of sustainable, low-cost, high-energy, organic materials. Princeton University.

U Maryland and US Army Research Lab furthering “water-in-salt” electrolyte Li-ion battery; targeting EV use

Green Car Congress

University of Maryland (UMD) and US Army Research Lab (ARL) researchers are spearheading a public-private sector collaboration to further develop a lithium-ion battery that would be safer to operate and less costly to dispose of than those currently available on the market.

Satellite study shows drought-stricken Colorado River Basin states depleting their groundwater

Green Car Congress

A new satellite study finds more than 75% of the water loss in the drought-stricken Colorado River Basin since late 2004 came from underground resources. The extent of groundwater loss may pose a greater threat to the water supply of the western United States than previously thought. This is a lot of water to lose. Credit: U.S.

Univ. of Maryland team develops tin-film on wood fiber anode for Na-ion batteries; targeting grid storage

Green Car Congress

A team at the University of Maryland has demonstrated that a material consisting of a thin tin (Sn) film deposited on a hierarchical conductive wood fiber substrate is an effective anode for a sodium-ion (Na-ion) battery, and addresses some of the limitations of other Na-ion anodes such as capacity fade due to pulverization.

UMD/USARL team develops “water-in-salt” electrolyte enabling high-voltage aqueous Li-ion chemistries

Green Car Congress

A common practice to suppress hydrogen evolution in aqueous electrochemistry is to adjust the alkalinity, so that the water reduction potential shifts downward to allow the use of anode materials otherwise prohibited under neutral or acidic conditions. What’s most important about our work is the breakthrough made at the fundamental level.
