Exposing cathodes to light decreases charge time by a factor of two in lithium-ion batteries. Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have reported a... Read more
Electric vehicle owners may soon be able to pull into a fueling station, plug their car in, go to the restroom, get a cup of coffee and in 10 minutes, drive out with a fully charged battery,... Read more
The 2019 Toyota Mirai electric vehicle touts zero emissions, thanks to a fuel cell that runs on hydrogen instead of gasoline. But the Mirai has barely left California, partly because today... Read more
Lithium-air batteries are poised to become the next revolutionary replacement for currently used lithium-ion batteries that power electric vehicles, cell phones and computers. Lithium-air ba... Read more
Californians do not purchase electric vehicles because they are cool, they buy EVs because they live in a warm climate. Conventional lithium-ion batteries cannot be rapidly charged at temper... Read more
PNNL scientists spice up electrolyte solution to increase charge cycles When it comes to the special sauce of batteries, researchers at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest Nat... Read more
New research at the University of Waterloo could lead to the development of batteries that triple the range of electric vehicles. The breakthrough involves the use of negative electrodes mad... Read more
A technology developed by Purdue researchers could provide an “instantly rechargeable” method that is safe, affordable and environmentally friendly for recharging electric and hybrid vehicle... Read more
You cannot get far today with electric cars. One reason is that the batteries require a lot of space. Fraunhofer scientists are stacking large cells on top of one another. This provides vehi... Read more
