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. Just as the company makes engines, it will now make battery packs for electric cars. 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. |
