Researchers at Tohoku University have unearthed a means to stabilize lithium or sodium depositions in rechargeable batteries, helping keep their metallic structure intact. The discovery prevents potential battery degradation and short circuiting, and paves the way for higher energy-density metal-anode batteries. Courtesy of Tohoku University Scientists are ever-seeking to develop … [continued]
As part of the ever-evolving improvement of battery technology, there’s a lot of anode research going on around the world. One idea is to replace commonly used graphite with lithium metal for the anode, and that may have just gotten a notable boost thanks to some research out of New York State’s Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
It sounds as if the electric aviation news industry has somewhat tapered down, giving a chance for other competing electric mobility industries to make it into the limelight. But that doesn’t mean that the electric aviation industry is sitting idly either. In fact, Sion Power just announced a “breakthrough” in its Location Lithium battery chemistry.
Toshiba says its next generation SCiB battery can add 200 miles of range in just 6 minutes using high power charging equipment.
A low-cost approach to fabricating nanoporous silicon — a potentially highly useful material for next-generation anode material in batteries, owing to assumed greater capacity and lowered operating voltage — has been developed by researchers at Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research, the University of Science and Technology of China, … [continued]
