Researchers uncover new avenue for overcoming the performance decline that occurs with repeated charge-discharge cycling in the cathodes of next generation batteries. Battery powered vehicles have made a significant dent in the transportation market. But that market still needs lower cost batteries that can power vehicles for greater ranges. Also … [continued]
Argonne’s interactive Electric Vehicle Charging Justice40 Map helps EV charging planners align their efforts with federal goals to serve disadvantaged communities. The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory contributed critical tools and expertise to a new federal initiative aimed at helping states build electric vehicle (EV) charging stations … [continued]
Clues to Better Batteries — X-ray technique reveals irregularities and dead spots arise due to incomplete lithium stripping from anode during battery discharge. UPTON, NY — Pure lithium metal is a promising replacement for the graphite-based anodes currently used in electric vehicle batteries. It could tremendously reduce battery weights and … [continued]
Newswise — From clean energy to studying the brain, Argonne continued its long history of pivotal discoveries.
Researchers find new issue complicating fast charging.
26 Projects and Partnership with Argonne Lab Will Advance the Development of Lithium Batteries and Bridge Existing Gaps in Domestic Battery Supply Chain
Progress in applied research at Argonne National Laboratory raises hopes that solid-state batteries will replace conventional lithium-ion batteries sooner rather than later.
How do we make battery recycling cost effective? Scientists at the ReCell Center have taken another step towards that goal.
With a little assist from the US Department of Energy, new EV batteries featuring silicon are about to hit the road.
A new Argonne study offers the most complete understanding yet of the costs of owning and operating a vehicle and how those costs vary by powertrain, from the conventional to the cutting-edge. Advanced vehicle technologies are sometimes more expensive to purchase than conventional technologies but often pay for themselves in reduced … [continued]
