Chinese Researchers Develop LFP Cathode Material That Is a Reasonable Compromise Between Battery Capacity and Supercapacitor Power

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences Key Laboratory of Molecular Nanostructure and Nanotechnology successfully designed and synthesized a nanocomposite of LiFePO 4 nanoparticles embedded in nanoporous carbon matrix (LFP-NP@NPCM) as a cathode material for high-power, high-energy lithium-ion batteries (LIB) and supercapacitors.

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).

Using the PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) to Transition Society Seamlessly and Profitably From Fossil Fuel to 100% Renewable Energy

Green Car Congress

Another strikingly different concept evidenced by the PHEV is that it is essentially a large, portable battery that can store energy gathered during one part of the day, and then use it later to power not only itself but also the vehicle owner’s home. There are trucks and buses being converted commercially today.

How Carmakers Are Responding to the Plug-In Hybrid Opportunity

Tony Karrer Delicious EVdriven

This is from "Commercializing Plug-In Hybrids" (pdf), the current CalCars 24-slide presentation about PHEVs available along with other documents at CalCars Downloads. The F6 DM uses ferrous batteries, with no lithium content, that BYD says are high-energy density and low cost. By partnering with these two industries.
