Porsche AG, which has just enhanced its electric credentials by heading a $400 million Series C investment round from the US business Group14 for innovative silicon-lithium technology. Silicon has longContinue Reading
Exide Industries’ board of directors recently resolved to build a multi-gigawatt lithium-ion cell production factory and also intends to apply for and participate in the Ministry of Heavy Industries’ Production-LinkedContinue Reading
The bane of battery scientists are little things called dendrites — little spikes of lithium that can pierce battery cells and lead to fires or explosions. Dendrites are one ofContinue Reading
A patent application for a ‘new glass battery’ has been submitted by a team headed by John Goodenough the 94 year old, part winner of the 2019 Nobel Prize inContinue Reading
The Indian Government has set up an ambitious electric mobility target. The only hindrance for the EVs is high prices, 40-50% of which is constituted by the batteries only. WithContinue Reading
Lithium batteries are characterized by the chemistry used in the cathode. The first successful lithium batteries used a lithium-cobalt-oxide chemistry, often just called a lithium battery or LiCo. Later, oxidesContinue Reading
The SOLiDIFY consortium has successfully developed a high-performance lithium-metal solid-state battery. This innovative battery, produced in a state-of-the-art Belgian lab, features a unique electrolyte that is both cost-effective and compatibleContinue Reading
Researchers from the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) and Argonne National Labs have created a practical demonstration of a lithium-air battery with a room temperature energy density of 685 Wh/kg.Continue Reading
