Is there such a battery that does not contain any metal materials and does not adopt flammable electrolytes? Sweden-based Uppsala University has recently researched and developed an organic proton battery that is not only eco-friendly, but is also capable of a full charge within seconds, with no impact on the capacity from more than 500 times of charging and discharging. ...  more

To Reduce Dependence on Made-in-Asia Batteries, Europe Must First Strengthen Its Carbon Industry

published 2020 年 03 月 05 日 9:30
With the rise of battery storage technologies and electric vehicles, the demand for lithium-ion batteries, which serve as the power supply in battery storage and EVs, is seeing a corresponding rise as well. To catch up to Asia’s dominance in the industry, Europe has recently been making a major push to develop its own battery technologies. However, since Europe needs to import most of the raw materials involved in battery manufacturing, it must first resolve the issue of domestic graphite manufacturing. ...  more
