The First Universal Principles for Designing Solid-state Batteries Developed by Korean Researchers
A Korean research team has presented the first universal design principles for solid-state batteries, signaling a paradigm shift in battery design research that previously lacked standard benchmarks. By applying the design principles, a 310Wh/kg-class pouch cell was produced and obtained third-party certification.
Electrification or hydrogen? Both have distinct roles in the European energy transition
The study, published in ‘One Earth’, is the first to analyse the interplay of electrification and hydrogen in EU climate neutrality scenarios at greater sectoral detail.
Benefits of Electric Stoves on Health and Environment in Ecuador
An international team of researchers led by UC San Diego Herbert Wertheim School of Public Health and Human Longevity Science investigated the health and environmental impacts of a program in Ecuador that put induction stoves in 750,000 households.

Electrification push will have enormous impacts on critical metals supply chain
The demand for battery-grade lithium, nickel, cobalt, manganese and platinum will climb steeply as vehicle electrification speeds up and nations work to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through mid-century. This surge in demand will also create a variety of economic and supply-chain problems, according to new Cornell University research published in Nature Communications.
On the Road to Better Solid-State Batteries
A team from Berkeley Lab and Florida State University has designed a new blueprint for solid-state batteries that are less dependent on specific chemical elements. Their work could advance efficient, affordable solid-state batteries for electric cars.
ORNL’s Ozpineci selected for Nagamori Award
Burak Ozpineci, a Corporate Fellow and section head for Vehicle and Mobility Systems Research at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, is one of six international recipients of the eighth Nagamori Award chosen annually by the Nagamori Foundation based in Kyoto, Japan. The honor recognizes outstanding researchers and engineers working in electric motors, motor drives and related fields.
Hands-free: Wireless charging system advances electric vehicle convenience
Oak Ridge National Laboratory scientists have for several years now steadily advanced a wireless charging technology that can make powering an electric vehicle just as easy, or easier, than filling up a car with gas. The researchers are now nearing the completion of a new system to charge EVs while they’re in motion.
High-rate Li-ion batteries demonstrate superior safety
As the inevitable growth of transport electrification continues, the types of batteries that will be used in such vehicles, their charging parameters, infrastructure and timeframes are key considerations that will speed up the transition to electrification.
UIC researchers identify new process to produce ammonia with a much smaller carbon footprint
New study describes a new process to produce ammonia with a potentially much lower carbon footprint
New composite material revs up pursuit of advanced electric vehicles
Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory used new techniques to create a composite that increases the electrical current capacity of copper wires, providing a new material that can be scaled for use in ultra-efficient, power-dense electric vehicle traction motors.
