Argonne National Lab scientists have developed a fluorine containing electrolyte for lithium-ion batteries whose charging performance remains high in frigid regions and seasons. They also determined why it is so effective. The research report has been published in the journal Advanced Energy Materials. Many owners of electric vehicles worry about how effective their battery will […]

Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Tohoku University researchers have recently developed a prototype calcium metal rechargeable battery capable of 500 cycles of repeated charge-discharge. Five hundred cycles is the benchmark for practical battery use. The breakthrough was made thanks to the development of a copper sulfide nanoparticle/carbon composite cathode and a hydride-based electrolyte. With the compulsive sales of electric […]

That will be key to meeting climate goals and unlocking the full potential of electric vehicles. So far the irreversible depletion of lithium ions in silicon anodes puts a major constraint on the development of next-generation lithium-ion batteries. For an […]

Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… A Chinese team has now introduced a new Organic Electrode Materials (OEM) for aqueous organic high-capacity batteries that can be easily and cheaply recycled. Right now our modern rechargeable batteries, such as lithium-ion batteries, are anything but sustainable. The team has introduced their results in the journal Angewandte Chemie. Modern rechargeable batteries, such as […]
