New Design For Lithium Air Battery Capacity Is A Huge Gain
February 28, 2023 | Leave a Comment
Argonne National Laboratory scientists have built and tested for a thousand cycles a new lithium-air battery design. The new design could one day power cars, domestic airplanes, long-haul trucks and more. That’s because the energy storage capacity greatly surpasses that possible with lithium-ion batteries. Many owners of electric cars have wished for a battery pack […]

Sandia National Laboratories’ new study tackled a long-held assumption that adding some liquid electrolyte to improve performance would make solid-state batteries unsafe. Instead, the research team found that in many cases solid-state batteries with a little liquid electrolyte were safer than their lithium-ion counterparts. They also found, if the battery were to short-circuit, releasing all […]
