Although lithium ion batteries have become the mainstream of energy storage, the basic science of molecular and atomic charging and discharging is still a mystery. According to the research of Argonne National Laboratory of the US Department of Energy in NatureCatalyst, the research team has made a breakthrough in obtaining the chemical composition of the solid electrolyte interface (SEI) between the electrode and the liquid electrolyte. Dusan Strmcnik, chemical engineer of Materials Science Department (MSD) of

Each kind of lithium battery has an optimal charging current value under different state parameters and environmental parameters. From the perspective of battery structure, what are the factors that affect the optimal charging value. Micro process of charging Lithium battery is called "rocking chair type" battery. Charged ions move between the positive and negative electrodes to transfer charge, supply power to external circuits or charge from external power sources. During the specific charging pro

The commercial application of proton exchange membrane fuel cells is limited by the slow oxygen reduction kinetics of the cathode. At present, the most effective strategy to improve the catalytic activity of oxygen reduction is to optimize the bonding energy between the catalyst and oxygen containing species through the regulation of transition metal M (M=Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, etc.) and precious metal Pt alloying, so as to enhance the catalytic activity of oxygen reduction.(Lithium - Ion Battery Equipment) Recent stud

With the soaring price of international crude oil, research on various new energy sources has become the focus of public attention. As a power source, electric energy has been widely used in various vehicles. Lithium ion battery has become the first choice of power electric energy for its advantages of high energy mass ratio and energy volume ratio, no memory effect, more rechargeable times, and long service life. As a new power technology, lithium-ion batteries must be connected in series to meet the demand for

Why do we need to develop a "cobalt free battery"? Cobalt free battery VS graphene battery technology. In the current era when new energy vehicles are developing in full swing, whoever can make a breakthrough in power lithium-ion battery technology can set off a wave of industry changes and take the lead in the new travel era. At present, the research on batteries can be roughly divided into solid state batteries, fuel power lithium batteries and "cobalt free batteries". These three types of bat

A few days ago, Toshiba exhibited a lithium battery that uses purple tungsten oxide as the negative electrode material at the 2018 Yokohama People and Vehicle Technology Exhibition, which can achieve ultra-fast charging. The advantages of this type of battery are obvious in a wide range of applications, from automobiles, micro/mild hybrid trains, elevators, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) to high current power supplies. It is understood that tungsten oxide powder developed by Toshiba Materials is used as an

According to foreign media reports, although Panasonic Corp has announced that it will start developing cobalt free automotive batteries in the near future, insiders predict that the cobalt consumption of Panasonic will more than triple in the next five years. Panasonic is the exclusive supplier of batteries for all new Tesla models such as Model3. According to insiders, the research and development of cobalt free batteries may take many years.(Lithium - Ion Battery Equipment) Cobalt will play an important role

Japanese media reported that Panasonic has recently developed an AI high-tech material analysis method, which is not only applicable to batteries, but also expected to be used in the development of materials such as solar cells. The method developed this time is a way to visualize the action state of the internal materials of lithium ion battery in the battery working process at high speed and high resolution. The visualization of this state will greatly affect the improvement of capacity density, charging and d

Starting from the four aspects of market, technology, cost and investment, Bosch concluded that the current large-scale investment in the production of lithium batteries with the current liquid electrolyte technology is not conducive to the development of Bosch. On February 28, the global auto parts giant Bosch held a press conference on the theme of "Electric Technology Development Strategy". At the meeting, Mr. Rolf Bulander, a member of the Bosch Group Management Committee and President of the Autom
