IBM Almaden Lab Exploring Lithium-Air Batteries for Next-Generation Energy Storage

Green Car Congress

General schematic of a lithium-air battery. The team plans to explore rechargeable Lithium-Air systems, which could offer 10 times the energy capacity of lithium-ion systems. The company would license any intellectual property that may result from this research rather than manufacturing battery cells.

Team at Naval Research Laboratory suggests design direction for structural batteries

Green Car Congress

Unfortunately, more energy-dense, li-based chemistries such as lithium-sulfur and lithium-air can also experience thermal runaway. For example, most reported structural batteries use Li-ion chemistries (238 Wh kg cell –1 ) that can experience thermal runaway if damaged by mechanical loads. —Hopkins et al. Hopkins et al.

NRC report concludes US LDVs could cut oil consumption and GHGs by 80% by 2050; reliance on plug-ins, biofuels and hydrogen; strong policies mandatory

Green Car Congress

Further, the cost, potential rate of implementation of each technology, and response of consumers and manufacturers to policies are uncertain. BEVs and PHEVs are likely to use lithium-ion batteries for the foreseeable future. The committee suggests that the U.S. Several advanced battery technologies (e.g.,
