In comparison to other Li–S batteries, the team found that their novel membrane significantly improved the cell’s storage ability, retaining 98.5% of its capacity after 40 hours.
This sounds poor to me. 40 weeks would be better and possibly around normal storage loss.
Researchers develop MOF membrane coating to prolong lithium–sulfur battery life
Although rechargeable lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries promise high energy density storage—particularly attractive for electric vehicle applications—the technology is currently limited by the shuttling polysulfides between the battery’s electrodes. Polysulfides deteriorate the lithium side of the...
The hardest part of 100% renewable energy is the last 20%. I see the cost of batteries coming down to help that part out. Hoping for the best where it is the hardest.
California legislature passes SB 100: 100% renewable and zero-carbon energy by 2045
The California Assembly has passed Senate Bill 100—a bill to move California to 100% renewable and zero-carbon energy by 2045. This bill—known as The 100 Percent Clean Energy Act of 2018—increases the Renewables Portfolio Standard (RPS) requirement from 50% by 2030 to 60% and creates the policy...
With my 2012 Mitsubishi imiev, this doesn't affect me at the moment. My next car I hope to get a Chevy Bolt. I don't care for the Tesla 3 trunk and need an open hatch back style. The 60 kwhr of batteries will be more than a welcome change.
CHAdeMO, China Electricity Council to co-develop next-gen ultra-fast EV charging standard; backward compatibility with CHAdeMO, GB/T
CHAdeMO Association and the China Electricity Council (CEC) will jointly develop a next generation Ultra-Fast charging standard. CEC is China’s official association of utilities in charge of their national regulations and standards related to electricity. The two entities will sign a Memorand...
I have a history with Engineer Poet also. It was in the conversation of nuclear power. Doesn't know me, but attacked my person as though he is completely right. Claimed I am ignorant about nuclear powers. I have argued against nuclear power for yyears and am very knowledgeable in my arguments. Discussion is needed, but aggression is not. Add to the discussion by giving us something good to take away from here. Underlying anger adds nothing to our day in which we all gain from this interaction.
U of Western Ontario team proposes Se as promising candidate for all-solid-state Li batteries
Researchers at the University of Western Ontario are proposing selenium (Se) as a promising cathode material for all-solid-state Li batteries, paired with a lithium-tin (L-Sn) alloy as an anode and Li3PS4 as the electrolyte. In a paper in the RSC journal Energy & Environmental Science, the team...
It is silly to burn gas at all. Leap frog over gas and get the job done right. This also puts demand on for more clean energy.
The New Oil Cartel Threatening OPEC
By Irina Slav for Oilprice.com. When reports emerged that India and China are in talks about forming an oil buyers’ club, OPEC was probably too busy with its upcoming June 22 meeting to concern itself with that dangerous alliance. Now, it may be time for it to start worrying. “The timing is ...
This gives me hope for better batteries. Is there a possibility that this makes it to the open market or will it die somewhere along the way and not be useful.
U Akron team develops Mn-based high performance anode for Li-ion batteries
Researchers at the University of Akron have developed hierarchical porous Mn3O4/C nanospheres as anode materials for Li-ion batteries. These nanospheres exhibited a high reversible specific capacity (1237 mAh/g at 200 mA/g), excellent ratability (425 mAh/g at 4 A/g), and extremely long cycle li...
The Model 3 which uses cylindricals is only rated for 100-130,000 miles anyway, so who the heck is going to want to have that reduced?
Posted by: Davemart | 18 February 2018 at 01:17 AM
Its more than that. I have read articles showing about 300,000 miles with only 20% loss of capacity.
New sensor tech for commercial Lithium-ion batteries could support >5x faster charging without compromising safety
Researchers at WMG at the University of Warwick (UK) have developed a method to assess the maximum current for commercial 18650 Li-ion batteries, using novel instrumentation methods enabling in operando measurements. In an open-access paper in the journal Electrochimica Acta, they reported tha...
When adding more components to the 18650 battery, then you give up space for the energy density, cutting down capacity per unit volume.

@Peter XX
A recent paper in the scientific journal shows that PN emissions from the tailpipe of a diesel car is ~50% lower than in ambient air.
This is basically an impossibility. Particulates are just a basic part of burning fossil fuels. We can only hope for less rather than the air is cleaned up. Really a strange statement to make. I plugged in your line to google and did not find any such paper.
Groupe PSA launching a new generation of small vans based on EMP2 platform for Peugeot, Citroën and Opel/Vauxhall
Forerunner and historical leader of the leisure activity vehicle (LAV)—i.e., small vans—segment in Europe, Groupe PSA will introduce three latest-generation models designed for its different brands: Peugeot, Citroën and Opel/Vauxhall. The new line-up stems from a single development program aime...

2 MW × 365 days × 24 hours × 25% = 4,380 MWh = 4,380,000 kWh
Assumption of what a wind turbine will produce in a year.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_by_electricity_production_from_renewable_sources
4 million gwhr of electrical consumption per year
1 wind turbine produces 4 gwhr per year
I million wind turbines would about match our electrical consumption.
Which is on average 20,000 turbines per state.
Wind is expected to beat natural gas in price soon. Its the inevitable source to go to along with solar.
UMTRI: average US new vehicle fuel economy drops in October

These charging facilities will take close to 60 minutes to fully charge a TESLA Model S-100.
They are NOT quick charge facilities (yet). Better faster facilities are required.

New molybdenum-coated catalyst produces hydrogen from water-splitting more efficiently; preventing the back reaction
Water-splitting systems require a very efficient catalyst to speed up the chemical reaction that splits water into hydrogen and oxygen, while preventing the two gases from recombining back into water. Now an international research team has developed a new catalyst with a molybdenum (Mo) coating...
For example, the Model 3 can be ordered for 35k USD with 55kwh available for 220 miles range but since it has a 75kwh battery it can always be upgraded to that pack size by a software purchase.
I have never hear of battery capacity increase with software upgrade. How can software increase the capacity of the battery bank?

An unregulated market only acts out of its self interest. Someone must come in and set rules for good common behaviour. Other it is Katy bar the door and the environment be damned. The government helps the market to achieve the next step of the market resolving a serious issue like, GLOBAL WARMING.
