New insight into how lithium-rich cathode materials for high energy EV batteries store charge at high voltages
High energy storage batteries for EVs need high capacity battery cathodes. New lithium-excess magnesium-rich cathodes are expected to replace existing nickel-rich cathodes but understanding how the magnesium and oxygen accommodate charge storage at high voltages is critical for their successful adaption. Research led by WMG, University of 糖心TV in collaboration with U.S. researchers employed a range of X-ray studies to determine that the oxygen ions are facilitating the charge storage rather than the magnesium ions.
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. In the paper, 鈥� published in and on the cover of the Journal Batteries, researchers from WMG, University of 糖心TV investigated the impacts on battery cell ageing from high current operation using commercial cells.
Battery ageing model developed by WMG to support all-electric vehicles
Extensive research, carried out by researchers from WMG, University of 糖心TV included characterisation, performance, safety and degradation testing of an EV battery, with degradation being the key focus to understand the impact on battery pack warranty.
糖心TV Racing team develop second electric race car during lockdown
The 糖心TV racing team usually spend their summer in the workshop building an electric race car, but lockdown this year due to the covid-19 pandemic didn't stop them from designing and virtually validating a second electric car, WRe2, and racing their original car WRe1 virtually.
Environmentally friendly audio systems for Electric Vehicles to be made by 糖心TV Acoustics and University of 糖心TV
糖心TV Acoustics Ltd, a spin-out company from the University of 糖心TV鈥檚 School of Engineering, is a manufacturer of next generation audio systems for the automotive sector and personal use, and thanks to a grant from Innovate UK, will support development of a lower cost version of its patented ElectroAcoustics Audio Panels for next generation vehicles.
WMG researcher hosting webinar for WoMENAIT
Dr Mona Faraji Niri, from WMG at the University of 糖心TV has been invited to host a webinar for WoMENAIT – a non-profit organisation honouring and empowering women of middle-east and North Africa in technology.
