PNNL study outlines requirements for grid storage, reviews four electrochemical energy storage systems: vanadium redox flow, Na-beta, Li-ion and lead-carbon

Green Car Congress

Classification of potential electrical storage for stationary applications. While there is no intention to cover all potential technologies, this paper focuses on redox flow, Na-solid oxide electrolyte, and Li-ion and lead-carbon batteries to illustrate the needs of research and development. Sodium-beta alumina membrane battery.

KAUST uses laser pulses to boost performance of MXene electrode

Green Car Congress

Graphite contains flat layers of carbon atoms, and during battery charging, lithium atoms are stored between these layers in a process called intercalation. These nanodots, roughly 10 nanometers wide, were connected to the MXene’s layers by carbon materials. A paper on their work is published in the journal Small. El-Demellawi, J.

How clean is EV battery manufacturing?

Electric Auto Association

What is the impact on the EV lifecycle carbon footprint? Optimistic outlook The emissions from battery manufacturing are likely to decline significantly in coming decades, especially with the use of cleaner electricity throughout the production cycle. Audi’s e-Tron batteries are manufactured at a carbon-neutral facility.
