US Dept. Of Defense Inches Closer To Tactical Electric Vehicles
The US Department of Defense is finally leveling up its interest in electric vehicles, and Canoo is front and center.
Conamix Working To Get Lithium Sulfur Batteries On The Market In the Next 5 Years
Lithium Sulfur Batteries Could Have Energy Densities Higher than Nickel and Cobalt Batteries at Prices Cheaper Lower Than LFP The transition to electric mobility is well underway. Last year, about 10 million electric vehicles were sold around the world. The leader in terms of EV market share is Norway, where … [continued]
1,000-Cycle Lithium-Sulfur Battery Could Quintuple Electric Vehicle Ranges
A new biologically inspired battery membrane has enabled a battery with five times the capacity of the industry-standard lithium ion design to run for the thousand-plus cycles needed to power an electric car. A network of aramid nanofibers, recycled from Kevlar, can enable lithium-sulfur batteries to overcome their Achilles heel … [continued]
New, Really New EV Battery News. It’s New. Really!
Sodium batteries. Sulfur batteries. The quest for cheaper, more powerful batteries is accelerating.
Morrow Batteries Commits To New Factory In Norway
Morrow Batteries says it will build the world’s most sustainable battery factory in southern Norway.
Graphene At Play In New 300-Mile EV Battery
A research team from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has a 300-mile electric vehicle battery range in its sights, thanks to a unique combination of different electrochemical technologies including a new material called sulfur-graphene oxide (S-GO). CleanTechnica is one of the world’s leading fans of graphene so naturally we are … [continued]
World-Record Battery Performance Achieved With Egg-Like Nanostructures
SLAC and Stanford scientists have set a world record for energy storage, using a clever “yolk-shell” design to store five times more energy in the sulfur cathode of a rechargeable lithium-ion battery than is possible with today’s commercial technology. The cathode also maintained a high level of performance after 1,000 … [continued]
X-ray Research May Open Door to Lithium-Sulfur Batteries
Most electric cars, from the Tesla Model S to the Nissan Leaf, run on rechargeable lithium-ion batteries – a pricey technology that accounts for more than half of the vehicle’s total cost. One promising alternative is the lithium-sulfur battery, which can theoretically store five times more energy at a … [continued]
