Battery Research

A lithium-ion battery inspired by safety glass. Researchers have modified the design of lithium-ion batteries to include slits along the electrodes, a feature which may mitigate the risk of battery failure during automobile accidents. The prototype could allow manufacturers to scale down the housing materials that commonly protect batteries in electric cars from mechanical damage, improving the overall energy density and cost.

Surprising discovery could lead to better batteries. Scientists have observed the concentration of lithium inside individual nanoparticles reverse at a certain point, instead of constantly increasing. This discovery is a major step toward improving the battery life of consumer electronics. Source 9g.

Research Battery

Powerful battery created. Move over, lithium-ion; now, there's a better battery on the horizon. A multi-institution team of scientists has discovered an exceptional metal-oxide magnesium battery cathode material, moving researchers one step closer to delivering batteries that promise higher density of energy storage on top of transformative advances in safety, cost and performance in comparison to their ubiquitous lithium-ion (Li-ion) counterparts.

I could SO use this! My Leaf takes 4 hours to charge from near zero, and it would be an amazing boon to be able to charge in less than an hour. I'd rewire my outlet or maybe put in a booster battery in my carport to allow for the kind of charging required.

Battery Research

A lithium battery that operates at -70 degrees Celsius, a record low. Researchers in China have developed a battery with organic compound electrodes that can function at -70 degrees Celsius -- far colder than the temperature at which lithium-ion batteries lose most of their ability to conduct and store energy. The findings could aid engineers in developing technology suited to withstand the coldest reaches of outer space or the most frigid regions on Earth. Source 1k.
