More efficient, longer-lasting batteries are needed to ensure the future of the electric vehicle market. Thanks to Jeff R. Dahn and his Dalhousie University research team, a “million-mile battery” may soon be a reality. Dahn is Tesla’s battery research partner. In “A Wide Range of Testing Results on an Excellent Lithium-Ion Cell Chemistry to be […]

The following article is published by Giorgia Zampardi and Fabio La Mantia in Chemestry Europe – The European Chemical Societies Publishing. The operating potentials of the Li‐ion batteries active materials usually exceed the stability window of the electrolyte, leading to its irreversible reduction or oxidation. Often, as an effect of these side reactions, a surface […]

This scientific article published by Vittorio Pellegrini Silvia Bodoardo, Daniel Brandell, Kristina Edström underlines the main challenges for future research in batteries. It addresses particularly the urgent needs of developing new environmentally-friendly material solutions to enhance the energy density and safety of these storage devices. This will require embracing a multidisciplinary approach encompassing traditional electrochemistry […]
