MIT chemists developed a battery cathode based on organic materials, which could reduce the EV industry’s reliance on scarce metals. Many electric vehicles are powered by batteries that contain cobalt — a metal that carries high financial, environmental, and social costs. MIT researchers have now designed a battery material that … [continued]
Another week comes and goes. What big and fun cleantech stories from the past week do we need to highlight? Here’s what I’ve got! What future is coming? Well, this one is more about news in 11 years than it is about news in the past week, but it’s an … [continued]
As Europe scrambles away from Russian natural gas, Romania’s abandoned mines could lend a hand with gravity energy storage systems.
While there are regular reports about sales performances of the best selling EVs, as one can see here, here, and here, reports on the deployment of the all-essential batteries for these EVs are much less frequent. Nevertheless, they are a critical element in the EV transition, and big business too. … [continued]
Funded Projects Will Lower EV Technology Costs, Increase Driving Range, and Build a Sustainable, Secure Domestic Battery Supply Chain WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) yesterday announced more than $131 million for projects to advance research and development (R&D) in electric vehicle (EV) batteries and charging systems, … [continued]
