Tag: lithium-ionHigh-Energy Batteries Coming to Market Rechargeable zinc-air batteries can store three times the energy of a lithium-ion battery. Longer-Running Electric-Car Batteries Silicon-nanotube electrodes may enable lithium-ion batteries to store 10 times more charge. Our collective demand for environmental responsibility has stimulated the market. Nanowire Advance for Lithium Batteries Electrodes made of carbon-silicon nanowires could boost the life and performance of lithium-ion batteries. Lithium Battery Recycling Gets a Boost The DOE funds a company that recycles plug-in vehicle batteries. A Startup's Electric Sedan May Be First on the Road A Chinese-built electric sedan could be the first on sale in the United States, but it will quickly face competition. Revisiting Lithium-Sulfur Batteries Advances could at last make the high-energy batteries practical. A spinoff from the Rocky Mountain Institute has developed a 100-miles-per-gallon plug-in hybrid. Why Chrysler Chose A123 Batteries The automaker wanted U.S.-based manufacturing and a flexible battery design. A startup says its solid polymer electrolytes will mean cheaper, more-reliable batteries. Ultra-High-Power Lithium-Ion Batteries New materials from MIT could power laser weapons or give hybrid cars jackrabbit acceleration. A Blended Battery Pack for Cars Combining different battery technologies could improve vehicle performance and reduce costs. Realizing Lithium-Battery Potential Nanoporous silicon that soaks up ions without self-destructing can make better batteries. A startup reports progress on a battery that stores more energy than lithium-ion ones. Lithium-Ion Batteries for Less Researchers show a low-cost route to making materials for advanced batteries in electric cars and hybrids. |
