Image shows single crystals of cathode material: (A) no internal boundaries and (B) internal boundaries visible. (Image by Argonne National Laboratory.) A research team has developed a new NMC cathode design that prevents cracking in cathode particles through a structure that doesn’t have boundaries between particles. “A different approach to avoid this cracking involves single-crystal… Read more »

Prototype interior permanent magnet synchronous motor achieves 100,000 rpm
A team at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) Sydney in Australia has built a new high-speed motor which can be used in EVs, large HVAC systems, high-precision CNC machines and the integrated drive generators in aircraft engines. Using its own optimization program, the team has built a prototype IPMSM motor with a patented… Read more »
Researchers create electrode with high energy capacity from nanosheets
A team of researchers has fabricated thick electrodes from two-dimensional materials in order to design an electrode for faster charging and higher energy capacity in lithium-ion batteries. “Two-dimensional materials are commonly believed [to be] a promising candidate for high-rate energy storage applications because it only needs to be several nanometers thick for rapid charge transport,”… Read more »
Don’t just delay cell-to-cell thermal propagation, stop it.
Sponsored by Aspen Aerogels Battery engineers face the daunting challenge of maximizing thermal runaway protection while optimizing vehicle performance. This task becomes even more critical as cell-to-pack and cell-to-chassis designs increase in popularity because manufacturers lose the added protection that can be built into a module-based design. Although newer chemistries such as LFP and solid-state… Read more »
Li-Metal nearing production of lithium metal anode material
Li-Metal, a developer of lithium metal anodes and other battery technologies, has released an operational update for its roll-to-roll anode pilot plant in Rochester, New York. Since its commissioning earlier this year, the facility has been ramping up production of its lithium metal anode sample materials using Li-Metal’s roll-to-roll physical vapor deposition (PVD) process. This… Read more »
Evaluating EV components with non-destructive X-ray computed tomography (Webinar)
In this free webinar at our Fall Virtual Conference (October 17-20, 2022), presented by ZEISS Industrial Quality Solutions, we will demonstrate the utility of Computed Tomography (CT) for non-destructive evaluation of electric vehicle components. CT imaging aids in quality assurance, manufacturing optimization, and failure analysis. Examples of the range of capabilities will be shown, including… Read more »
Bollinger Motors and Wabash to develop last-mile refrigerated delivery electric truck
Bollinger Motors (now a subsidiary of Mullen Automotive) has teamed up with truck body and trailer manufacturer Wabash to develop a refrigerated truck body on an electric chassis. Wabash has developed a lightweight composite technology called EcoNex Technology which it says will seamlessly integrate with Bollinger’s Class 4 electric chassis cab, and deliver significant weight… Read more »
6K and ONE enter joint development agreement for battery material
Battery materials producer 6K has signed a joint development agreement with Michigan-based energy storage company Our Next Energy (ONE) to develop and produce a battery material that ONE will use in its dual-chemistry Gemini battery and LFP Aries battery pack. The companies will develop two chemistries that include iron phosphate and manganese. “Early collaboration will… Read more »
