A Lithium Metal Battery Tech That Doesn’t Catch Fire
August 21, 2018 | 2 Comments
Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… University of Michigan researchers assert their new lithium metal technology could double the output of today’s lithium ion cells, drastically extending electric vehicle ranges and time between cell phone charges without taking up any added space. Note as you read along this technology is using the earlier lithium metal technology that predates the current […]

A Breakthrough For Lithium Batteries
February 16, 2016 | Leave a Comment
Cornell University researchers announced a new material to block lithium dendrite formation in lithium metal batteries. Sharp readers will note that applies to lithium metal as opposed to the common lithium-ion term we usually see. There is a big difference. Rechargeable lithium metal batteries have been known for four decades to offer energy storage capabilities […]

A Kevlar Bulletproof Vest for Lithium Ion Batteries
January 28, 2015 | Leave a Comment
University of Michigan (UM) researchers have designed a Kevlar barrier that goes between the anode and cathode electrodes of lithium ion batteries. The new battery technology should be able to prevent the kind of fires that grounded Boeing’s 787 Dreamliners in 2013. The barrier is made with nanofibers extracted from Kevlar, the tough material in […]

Breaking Through The Lithium Ion Battery Problems
December 18, 2013 | Leave a Comment
We’ve heard and many have experienced the lithium ion battery problems of overheating and sometimes breaking out into fires. Researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) led by Nitash Balsara, a faculty scientist with Berkeley Lab’s Materials Sciences Division have discovered what is going on. Over the course […]
