argonne-national-lab-finds-magnesium-oxide-coating-stabilizes-sulfide-solid-state-electrolytes

The performance of a class of next-generation solid-state batteries may depend on a coating just a nanometer thick, roughly 100,000 times thinner than a human hair. Scientists at the US Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory combined computation and experiment to identify protective coatings for sulfide-based solid electrolytes, and pointedContinue Reading

advancements-in-thermal-adhesives:-enhancing-battery-cell-to-pack-and-cell-to-ribbon-performance-for-evs

Sponsored by Parker. A key to the advancement of high energy-density, lithium-ion, battery packs is effective management of heat generated during charge and discharge cycles. Heat is often managed by connecting battery cells and/or modules to a cooling plate or pack via thermally conductive materials (gap fillers or adhesives). Typically,Continue Reading
