Design of lithium metal battery with electrolyte containing a fluorinated cation (atomic structure at centre). The “interface” area represents the layer with fluorine that forms on the anode and cathode surfaces.
Although lithium-ion batteries are the most commonly used batteries globally, it is not the chemistry with the highest energy density - other chemistries can get much higher. The secret of lithium-ion’s success is that batteries are great all rounders. They have decent specifications for both their el

New GM-based Electric Work Trucks Join Market Beset by Restrictions
ÂHeavy-duty work and commercial vehicles are the final frontier in our electrified future. And while electric jetliners may never come to fruition — not for a long while — we’re beginning to make progress at the literal ground level.
Case in point — Lightning eMotors began production of its GM-based Light

Toyota RAV4 EV Electric Car
Out of all the large vehicle manufacturers, Toyota was the one that originally stood out from the rest by not fully committing to the electrification of its product line. Despite being a pioneer in EV technology, launching its RAV4 EV originally in 1997, and developing the Prius, which was perhaps the world’s firs

ÂApparently, GM and Samsung’s joint battery plant will be a Hoosier.
Back in April, General Motors and Samsung SDI announced a $3 billion investment in a new American electric vehicle battery cell plant. Left unsaid was its exact location, though it’s set to open in 2026 and produce nickel-rich prismatic

Infographic on UK offshore wind generation
Â
Industrial giant ABB has warned the UK government that it will need to install 24 additional offshore windfarms in the next seven years if it wants to meet the renewables targets that it has set itself before 2030. The 24 new windfarms, with average capacity of 1.5 GW, will be required to expand the UK’s

Japan Aims to Beam Solar Power from Space by 2025
ÂThe Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) has announced a somewhat ambitious goal – to beam solar power from space by 2025.
The idea would involve generating electricity from solar panels at an altitude of 36,000 kilometers, whereby the energy is converted into microwaves and sent to groun

Charge+ to Install 3000-Mile Charging Highway Across Southeast Asia
ÂWe’ve covered voluminous ways to solve “range anxiety” – everything from greater battery density to quick charging stations, battery swap stations, and more. But sometimes, the simplest explanation is the right one – that being massively expanded infrastructure to support our electrified future.

Maria Ljunggren, Associate Professor in Sustainable Materials Management at Chalmers University of Technology.
Many countries around the world are looking to the electrification of transport to help meet their decarbonization goals. Nowhere is this more true than in the EU, where Norway has legislated for the phase out of sales of fossil fuelled vehicles by 2025. Other countries, both inside and outside the EU, are only slight
