Double-Layered Silicon-Germanium Nanotube Array

Green Car Congress is a good source for brief synopses about industry development of traction batteries for electric vehicles.

Hybrid Locomotives and the Batteries They Need

GCC Commentator Toppa Tom opines that hybrid locomotives are “poor choices for cruising, even worse when climbs and descents are moderate ‘RR grades’”. Like the challenge of over-the-road trucking, hills that are long and / or far apart, mean you need a really BIG battery.

Bicontinuous Nanoarchitecture

The promise of capacitor-like power with battery-like energy.

Yi Cui, More Anode Development

Researchers find a low cost way to improve the safety of anodes in lithium batteries.

Seoul Public Transportation System commits to electric drive

SMG has replaced 5 buses on the Namsan circular routes with electric vehicles and plans to substitute all 14 buses with electric coaches.

A Bus with a High Energy Density Battery and a High Power Battery

NaS batteries operate at high temperatures, which could be an advantage for Northern cities like Toronto.

H2 Ti12 O25

Another incremental improvement in the energy density of advanced lithium batteries.

Bay Area to get e-Taxi

While taxi companies are seeing years of service and savings from hybrid taxis, battery-powered all-electric taxis represent a more stringent test of this form of propulsion.

Nanopores, Simpler to create than Nanowires

Better to have a long-lived battery, even better when it has 10X capacity.

A Better Binder by Battelle

Wholly ninjas in Richland, Vat Man, chemical vapor deposition of carbon coatings and highly elastic Ketjen Black carbon.
