New work from ZSW, a TEESMAT partner
Li metal deposition is one of the most common aging mechanisms in Lithium-Ion Batteries. Li metal is deposited in dendritic structures, which might cause an internal short circuit (ISC). Using a novel cross-sectional in situ optical microscopic method, Hogrefe et al. directly observed Li deposition and ISC in Li-ion full cells. Four different cases, (i) […]

Breakthrough Enables Full Recharge of an Electric Vehicle in 10-Minutes
+ Read moreElectric 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, according to a team of engineers. “We demonstrated that we can charge an electrical vehicle in ten minutes […]
On 20 November over 200 stakeholders from industry and academia had gathered in Brussels to discuss the BATTERY 2030+ roadmap draft
+ Read moreThe BATTERY 2030+ workshop ”Building the roadmap for inventing the batteries of the future” started with opening notes by Maroš Šefčovič, European Commission Vice-President in charge of the European Battery Alliance. ”I very much appreciate your forward-looking work under Battery 2030+. We need to mobilise the efforts of the European research community into future battery […]
A new concept to make environmentally friendly batteries possible
+ Read moreAluminum (Al) batteries are fundamentally a promising future post-Li battery technology. The recently demonstrated concept of an Al-graphite battery represents some significant progress for the technology, but the cell energy density is still very modest and limited by the quantity of the AlCl3 based electrolyte, as it relies on AlCl4‒ intercalation. For further progress, cathode materials capable […]
Battery Manufacturing In Europe
Is there a second chance?
+ Read moreEurope is aggressively moving to establish a lithium-ion battery (LIB) industry. Despite the chasm separating European companies from the leading industry incumbents, there are strong grounds for European players to establish themselves in the sector. To be successful, however, they must consider five strategic levers – and act now. A global shift away from fossil […]
The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2019 rewards the development of the lithium-ion battery
+ Read moreThis lightweight, rechargeable and powerful battery is now used in everything from mobile phones to laptops and electric vehicles. It can also store significant amounts of energy from solar and wind power, making possible a fossil fuel-free society. Lithium-ion batteries are used globally to power the portable electronics that we use to communicate, work, study, […]

Multivalent rechargeable batteries
28/08/2019
+ Read moreRechargeable battery technologies based on the use of metal anodes coupled to multivalent charge carrier ions have the potential to deliver breakthroughs in energy density radically leap-frogging the current state-of-the-art Li-ion battery technology. However, both the use of metal anodes and the migration of multivalent ions, within the electrolyte and the electrodes, are technological bottlenecks which make these technologies, all at different […]
