New cobalt-free high-voltage spinel cathode material with high areal capacity

Green Car Congress

Advancing cathode materials with both high energy density and low cost have always been the main objective of battery material research. It should be noted, the cost and sustainability of lithium-ion batteries are not only limited by the production of Co and Ni but also potentially limited by the lithium element itself. …

RIKEN team develops high-performance lithium-iodine battery system with higher energy density than conventional Li-ion

Green Car Congress

The working concept of I3 – /I – redox reaction in the aqueous Li-I 2 battery. A team from Japan’s RIKEN, led by Hye Ryung Byon, has developed a lithium-iodine (Li-I 2 ) battery system with a significantly higher energy density than conventional lithium-ion batteries. Energy density was ~0.35 Zhao et al.

Faradion demonstrates proof-of-concept sodium-ion electric bike

Green Car Congress

Although lithium-ion batteries are currently the predominant battery technology in electric and hybrid vehicles, as well as other energy storage applications, sodium-ion could offer significant cost, safety and sustainability benefits. Faradion’s sodium-ion cells deliver a specific energy of more than 140 Wh/kg.

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.

BNL-led team finds electrolyte additive enables stable high-voltage cycling of nickel-rich layered cathodes

Green Car Congress

This research was conducted as part of the DOE-sponsored Battery500 Consortium, which is led by DOE’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) and is working to increase the energy density of lithium batteries for electric vehicles significantly. Practically speaking, this could be a low-cost and easy-to-adopt solution.
