Researchers use copper ions to enhance performance of Mg battery

Green Car Congress

Magnesium (Mg) is a promising candidates to replace lithium for electrochemical energy storage devices due to its abundance—far greater than that of lithium—enhanced safety, and theoretical high volumetric capacity. A typical commercial lithium-ion battery holds at least 80% of its original capacity after 1,000 cycles.

Novel hybrid electrolytes to enable high-safety high-voltage Li-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Currently, liquid electrolyte still [dominates] the commercial LIB market since they are low cost, easy to prepare and [feature] high ionic conductivity. To create the hybrid electrolyte, the team mixed 5 wt% and 10 wt% Al 2 O 3 -ST into a base commercial electrolyte with 1M LiPF 6 in EC:DMC (3:7 by volume). —Xu et al.

EV Guru: Sodium-Ion Batteries are Coming Sooner Than You think!

Plug In India

Demand for the element is so great for applications including electric vehicles, portable electronic devices, and stationary energy units, that lithium mining companies are struggling to keep up. In addition, about 90% of the world’s supply of lithium is controlled by Chinese companies. The world needs to do something about this.

IDTechEX sees battery swapping as winner in 2- and 3-wheeler markets of Asia-Pacific

Green Car Congress

Although IDTechEx believes battery-swapping remains unlikely to thrive in the US, many Chinese OEMs are now entering the European market. IDTechEx research suggests that on average, decoupling the cost of the battery from the electric vehicle can reduce the purchase price of EVs by 20%. Commercial fleets.
