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.

How clean is EV battery manufacturing?

Electric Auto Association

Scientists inform us that today’s transportation sector is the largest contributor to US greenhouse gas emissions driving climate change, but how clean are lithium-ion batteries? of burned gasoline into energy to turn the wheels, electric vehicles (EVs) use 59-62% of the electrical energy from the battery to do the same.
