Originally published by Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a scalable, low-cost method to improve the joining of materials in solid-state batteries, resolving one of the big challenges in the commercial development of safe, long-lived energy storage systems. Solid-state batteries incorporate … [continued]
A new modeling capability developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory incorporates important biogeochemical processes happening in river corridors for a clearer understanding of how water quality will be impacted by climate change, land use and population growth. Researchers used high-performance computing and the award-winning Amanzi-ATS software to include biogeochemical reactions … [continued]
VW and ORNL are developing wireless EV charging systems with up to 300 kW of power.
How do we make battery recycling cost effective? Scientists at the ReCell Center have taken another step towards that goal.
Industrial Chemicals used on vehicles While highly regulated, both processes use large quantities of hazardous compounds with known environmental and health risks.
Originally published by Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The U.S. Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory has licensed its wireless charging technology for electric vehicles to Brooklyn-based HEVO. The system provides the world’s highest power levels in the smallest package and could one day enable electric vehicles to be charged as … [continued]
