KAUST uses laser pulses to boost performance of MXene electrode

Green Car Congress

The researchers made an anode from the laser-scribed material and tested it in a lithium-ion battery over 1000 charge-discharge cycles. With the nanodots in place, the material had a four-fold higher electrical storage capacity than the original MXene and almost reached the theoretical maximum capacity of graphite. Alhajji, E.,

AVL Concept Turbohybrid Mild Hybrid System Approaches Full Hybrid Fuel Savings at Lower Cost; Improved Driveability

Green Car Congress

AVL says that its smart recharging concept guarantees the filling of the “torque gap” at low speeds under all circumstances of acceleration even with a small energy storage system. In addition, it plans to evaluate electric driving after changing the electrical storage module to a Li-ion battery pack.
