Direct observation of internal short circuits by lithium dendrites in cross-sectional lithium-ion in situ full cells
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) […]

Advanced technologies for industry. Product watch : solid-state-lithium-ion-batteries for electric vehicles
18/01/2021
+ Read moreSince the global demand for high-energy and high-power energy storage devices increased, lithium-ion (li-ion) batteries have emerged as the dominating energy storage solution for portable electronics and electric vehicles. With the objective of realising the green mobility transition and overcoming concerns about electric vehicles, e.g. with regards to their range, new technologies for lithium-ion-batteries are developed. […]
Research & innovation for sustainable batteries
18/01/2021
+ Read moreSustainability in its three dimensions (economic, social, environmental) will be a hallmark of EU battery technologies at global scale. Research and innovation must be able to deliver concrete technical solutions across the whole value chain to ensure the transformation of the EU into a more sustainable and competitive economy by 2050. The new Commission proposal […]
Fast-growing grid scale stationary battery storage
13/01/2021
+ Read moreStationary grid connected batteries are growing. There is an increasing number of them, serving an increasing number of functions. And they grow in size measured in power output or energy stored. When this is written, the world’s largest battery system appears to be the 300 MW/1 200 MWh lithium-ion battery storage system inside a former turbine […]
Umicore cathode materials at the core of rechargeable Li-ion batteries
27/11/2020
+ Read moreRechargeable Li-ion batteries are everywhere in our daily life. They store energy and power our smartphones and laptops, our cordless drills, children’s hoverboards, steps or E-bikes. Not to mention the hundreds of electric car models available today. Umicore is part of this energy transformation and proud to take an active role in this transition towards […]
Panasonic looks to Norway for European battery production
27/11/2020
+ Read morePanasonic has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the energy company Equinor and the industrial group Norsk Hydro to explore the possibilities for building a “sustainable and cost-effective European battery business” for electric vehicles, likely in Norway. According to the joint declaration, the companies will, in this first phase, directly involve potential customers in […]
EU says it could be self-sufficient in electric vehicle batteries by 2025
25/11/2020
+ Read moreThe European Union could produce enough batteries by 2025 to power its fast-growing fleet of electric vehicles without relying on imported cells, European Commission Vice President Maros Sefcovic said during a conference on 24 Nov. As part of its plan to become climate neutral by 2050, the EU wants to boost local production of the […]
EU to push new standards for ‘greenest’ car batteries on earth
06/11/2020
+ Read moreThe European Commission will table new EU-wide regulations this autumn to ensure that batteries manufactured or imported into Europe are “the greenest on this planet,” a top EU official told EURACTIV. The new regulation will impose “mandatory requirements for the greenest, safest and most sustainable batteries on this planet,” said Maroš Šefčovič, the European Commission’s […]
Deep-sea minerals could meet the demands of battery supply chains
02/11/2020
+ Read moreThe world is hungry for resources to power the green transition. As we increasingly look to solar, wind, geothermal and move towards decarbonization, consumption of minerals such as cobalt, lithium and copper, which underpin them, is set to grow markedly One study by the World Bank estimates that to meet this demand, cobalt production will […]
