Study finds resource constraints should not be a limiting factor for large-scale EV battery production

Green Car Congress

(A) Energy storage potential (ESP) based on annual production of the elements. On the order of 1 billion 40 kWh Li-based EV batteries could be built with the currently estimated reserve base of lithium, according to a recent study by researchers from Lawrence Berkeley National laboratory and the University of California, Berkeley.

Stanford researchers develop new electrolysis system to split seawater into hydrogen and oxygen

Green Car Congress

Existing water-splitting methods rely on highly purified water—a precious resource and costly to produce. Electrolysis of water to generate hydrogen fuel is an attractive renewable energy storage technology. However, grid-scale freshwater electrolysis would put a heavy strain on vital water resources.

Researchers call for integration of materials sustainability into battery research; the need for in situ monitoring

Green Car Congress

We need new storage technologies if more renewables are to be used on the electrical grid; similarly, the electrification of transport requires much cheaper and longer-lasting batteries. The size of these batteries (in comparison to those used for portable electronics) places severe pressure on materials resources.

Envia Systems announcement may herald the first wave of DOE-supported commercial high energy density Li-ion cells with Si-C anodes

Green Car Congress

As an example, the military’s BB-2590 Li-ion battery used in a range of portable systems calls for a cycle life of ≥224 and ≥ 3 years.). LIB capacity is limited in part by the intercalation of Li ions by the anode material—i.e., Envia is targeting its high energy density Li-ion cells at plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles.
