Battery electric vehicles (EVs) have showcased rapidly growing sales figures over the last several years. There are several reasons to consider an EV aside from saving on gasoline. The prominent one, of course, is the environment. EVs have no tailpipe emissions, and research shows that they’re responsible for lower levels of greenhouse gases (GHGs) than…

Canadian tech company, Nano One, has acquired a patented technology for the low-cost production of high-performance lithium-ion battery cathode materials used in electric vehicles, energy storage, and consumer electronics. The processing technology allows lower-cost feedstocks, simplifies the creation, and improves performance for a wide range of cathode elements. In particular, the patented coated nanocrystal promises…

Tesla recently said that a million-mile electric vehicle (EV) battery is technologically feasible and that it should be available soon. According to a detailed study in the Journal of the Electrochemical Society, one way a long-lasting lithium-ion battery is made possible is if certain electrolytes work in conjunction with a nanomaterial coating on the cathode.…
