Leclanché forges alliance in China: Partnering with Narada Power, the battery maker wants to develop and produce new Li-ion technology for the automate sector. Leclanché will provide the necessary know-how about its fast-charging lithium titanate (LTO) and high energy density graphite nickel manganese cobalt (G-NMC) solutions, which Narada will manufacture in a new 25 GWh factory from 2017.

Teaser-Battery-Testing-Study-2016

Battery protection: The U.S. Department of Energy has awarded 1.1m dollars to Pennsylvania State University for the development of a new protective coating for Li-ion batteries used in i.e. electric cars. The so-called nanostructured hybrids are said to prevent the formation of dendrites by separating the anode from the electrolyte.

Preheated battery: Researchers from Penn State University have developed the all-climate battery (ACB), a Li-ion battery that warms itself in cold environments to keep performance steady. When temperatures drop below zero, an integrated temperature sensor reroutes current through nickel foil, warming the battery through resistance heating. Once it reaches non-freezing temperatures, the heating switches off. The amount of energy used for the warm-up is said to be very small.

Inconclusive: A recent fire of a Tesla Model S in Norway was not caused by the Supercharger it was connected to, an investigation concludes. Yet, what exactly has sparked the EV to go up in flame remains unclear, as the car burnt to the ground.
