Electrifying is most appropriate to describe the emotion of being among the creators of renewable and energy storage systems that we all know and depend upon now. At the VinFuture Prize Awards held at the Hanoi Opera House on December 20, the brilliant minds of professors Martin Green, Stanley Whittingham, … [continued]
The new Chris Hemsworth project “Limitless” is the perfect antidote to climate doomerism (with bonus energy storage angle, of course).
Potassium batteries could be the next tiger in the tank for a new generation of electric vehicles, eventually.
A Texas-sized energy storage breakthrough is in store for the US, with new solid state technology cutting costs while increasing efficiency.
SK Innovation has announced that is will collaborate with John Goodenough on the creation of next-generation solid-state lithium-ion batteries.
Toward the end of President Obama’s time in office, the US Department of Energy (DOE) launched a “Battery500 Consortium.” The goal is in the name: reaching 500 Wh/kg battery energy density with lithium-metal battery cells, a target which was reportedly triple the battery energy density at the time.
One of the researchers at the cutting edge of battery chemistry is Kimberly See, an Assistant Professor of Chemistry at Caltech. I sat down with Kim and had a chat about the exciting things that she and her lab are working on.
It would be hard to think of any technology more critical to today’s technological wonders than the lithium-ion battery, which is found in everything from tiny hearing aids to giant power plants. Three pioneers of our “rechargeable world” — John Goodenough, Stanley Whittingham, and Akira Yoshino — have now won a well-deserved Nobel Prize in chemistry for their work in developing lithium-ion energy storage technology (as reported by Bloomberg).
The Nobel Prize for chemistry has been awarded to three researchers who were instrumental in the creation of the lithium ion battery.
John Goodenough and his colleagues claim they have created a solid state lithium ion battery that actually have an increase in capacity the more times they are charged and discharged. Is that even possible?
