Better Battery Performance & Less Degradation At The Same Time
When it comes to improving battery technology, most companies naturally focus on battery cells. This may seem like a “duh” thing, but we have to keep in mind that battery cells are only one part of a complex system. To safely store energy and make it rechargeable, you need to … [continued]
Charging Ahead: New Electrolyte Goes Extra Mile for Faster EV Charging
Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers are taking fast charging for electric vehicles, or EVs, to new extremes. A team of battery scientists recently developed a lithium-ion battery material that not only recharges 80% of its capacity in 10 minutes but keeps that ability for 1,500 charging cycles. When a battery … [continued]
Sulfur Selenium Solid-State Battery From NASA Breaks Energy Storage Boundaries
Most of us have little idea what NASA — the National Aeronautics and Space Administration — has been doing since the Apollo moon missions ended. We know it is responsible for Tang and space blankets, but what has it done for us lately? It turns out, the “aeronautics” part of … [continued]
