    ADVANCEMENTS IN

    BATTERY
    TECHNOLOGY
    Electric vehicles have recently boasted impressive growth
    rates, more than doubling in market penetration every two
    years between 2014 and 2018. And batteries play a key role
    in EV performance and price. That’s why some companies
    are looking to new chemistries and battery technologies to
    sustain EV growth rates throughout the early 2020s.
    Three recent developments suggest that executives are more
    than just hopeful. They are, in fact, already striking deals to
    acquire and commercialize new EV battery advances. And
    progress has been broad—the new developments concern
    the three main electrical components of a battery: its
    cathode, electrolyte, and anode.

    Grabat has developed graphene batteries that
    could offer electric cars a driving range of up to
    500 miles on a charge. Graphenano, the company
    behind the development, says the batteries can be
    charged to full in just a few minutes and can
    charge and discharge 33 times faster than lithium
    ion.
     NanoBolt lithium tungsten batteries
     
    Working on battery anode materials, researchers at N1
    Technologies, Inc. added tungsten and carbon multi-
    layered nanotubes that bond to the copper anode substrate
    and build up a web-like nano structure. That forms a huge
    surface for more ions to attach to during recharge and
    discharge cycles. That makes recharging
    the NanoBolt lithium tungsten battery faster, and it also
    stores more energy.
     
    Nanotubes are ready to be cut to size for use in any Lithium
    Battery design.

      Zinc-manganese oxide batteries
    Investigating conventional assumptions, a team based at
    DOE’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory found an
    unexpected chemical conversion reaction in a zinc-
    manganese oxide battery. If that process can be
    controlled, it can increase energy density in conventional
    batteries without increasing cost. That makes the zinc-
    manganese oxide battery a possible alternative to
    lithium-ion and lead-acid batteries, especially for large-
    scale energy storage to support the nation’s electricity
    grid.
    TankTwo String Cell batteries
     
    A barrier to the use of electric vehicles (EVs) is the slow
    recharging process. Seeking a way to turn hours into
    minutes, TankTwo looked at modularizing a battery. Their String
    Cell™ battery contains a collection of small independent self-
    organizing cells. Each string cell consists of plastic enclosure,
    covered with a conductive material that allows it to quickly and
    easily form contacts with others. An internal processing unit
    controls the connections in the electrochemical cell. To facilitate
    quick charging of an EV, the little balls contained in the battery are
    sucked out and swapped for recharged cells at the service station.
    At the station, the cells can be recharged at off-peak hours.
