Who Really Invented the Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery?

Cars That Think

Fifty years after the birth of the rechargeable lithium-ion battery, it’s easy to see its value. Did Exxon invent the rechargeable lithium battery? The battery’s performance was also unprecedented: It was both rechargeable and very high in energy output. It’s used in billions of laptops, cellphones, power tools, and cars.

Kyoto team develops new cathode material for high-energy-density rechargeable magnesium batteries

Green Car Congress

Charge–discharge profiles of ion-exchanged MgFeSiO 4. A team of researchers from Kyoto University has demonstrated ion-exchanged MgFeSiO 4 as a feasible cathode material for use in high-energy-density rechargeable magnesium batteries. Three-electrode cells using Mg metal counter electrode and silver reference electrode were used.

Researchers propose new VO2 cathode material for aluminum-ion rechargeable battery

Green Car Congress

Schematic representation of the super-valent battery during charge/discharge process. When one Al ion moves from anode to cathode, the researchers explain, three charges will transfer in the external circuits as compensation. Wang et al. Click to enlarge. Herein, we define this kind of battery as super-valent battery. Batteries'

Depot charging for electric trucks could reduce out-of-route miles – Charged EVs

Baua Electric

“Many companies do not have on-site fueling and rely on commercial gas stations to fuel Class 2b-6 trucks.” On-site, overnight charging of vehicles means taking advantage of the already parked vehicle time to refill the energy, adding no out-of-route miles or wasted driver time,” Mihelic writes. “On-site,

Samsung researchers develop graphene balls for high-capacity electrode materials with fast charging

Green Car Congress

The graphene-ball coating improves cycle life and fast charging capability by protecting the electrode surface from detrimental side reactions and providing efficient conductive pathways. Such a trade-off relation is particularly obvious between energy density and fast charging (or power capability). mAh g -1.
