The Karlsruhe Insitute of Technology (KIT) is developing batteries that have five times the storage capacity of current lithium-ion batteries.
The German researchers in KIT’s Institute for Nanotechnology are developing a new synthesis of iron-carbon storage materials that could significantly boost battery performance.
Traditional batteries have an energy density that is about 50 times lower than gasoline in an equally large tank. That poses major challenges to the fledgling electric vehicle industry, which currently can build cars with an electric range of only about 150 km.
With KIT’s new experimental technology, various raw materials are mixed with lithium salt and then jointly heated.
Manufacturing costs are low and the process is relatively simple. Today already, the storage capacity of the new material is twice that of traditional batteries.
“If we manage to fully exploit the potential of this new material, we can generate a five-fold improvement in energy density over lithium-ion batteries,” said Maximilian Fichter, who heads the energy storage unit of KIT’s nanotechnology department.

White House defends Libya stance, debates options
(Reuters) - The White House on Wednesday strongly defended its response to the turmoil in Libya, insisting it has taken "dramatic action" and rebutting criticism that its consensus-based approach is too cautious.(Nikon EN-EL15 Battery)
As President Barack Obama's top advisers met to debate what to do next, Muammar Gaddafi's forces halted a rebel advance in the east of the oil-producing North African country and opposition forces suffered setbacks in the west.(KODAK KLIC-7002 Battery)
A range of options were on the table in the White House situation room, including a "no-fly" zone to ground Gaddafi's warplanes, although U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates has already warned of the difficulties of such an action.
With Libyan rebels fragmented and disorganized and Gaddafi's forces successfully counter-attacking, the Obama administration has been struggling to craft a strategy that forces Gaddafi from power without entangling the United States in a new war in the Muslim world.(KODAK KLIC-7001 Battery)
Despite its fear that Libya could become what Secretary of State Hillary Clinton last week called a "giant Somalia," Washington is reluctant to intervene militarily in a messy civil war, especially since the United Nations, NATO and countries in the region are divided on what should be done.
White House spokesman Jay Carney dismissed suggestions that Washington had failed to act with sufficient urgency.(Canon LP-E6 Battery)
"There has never been a situation where the international community, with leadership by the United States, has acted as quickly as it has to respond to this kind of situation," he said.
Clinton, CIA Director Leon Panetta, and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Mike Mullen, attended Wednesday's meeting, but it was not expected to lead to any immediate change in U.S. strategy, Carney said.(Canon NB-4L Battery)
The White House session came ahead of Thursday's meeting of NATO defense ministers, including Gates, in Brussels. A U.S. official said Libya options were being "teed up" for discussion there.
A top U.S. general said the United States military was prepared to quickly establish a "no-fly" zone over Libya if the international community decided on that option.
"I believe within a couple days, we would probably be able to implement a no-fly zone," General Raymond Odierno, commander of the U.S. Joint Forces Command told an audience at Harvard University in Massachusetts.(Fujifilm NP-80 Battery)
Odierno said it was important that any response to the turmoil in Libya have international backing.

Sunverge hopes new battery makes a splash in industry
At the end of the day, there is one big problem with solar energy production: The sun goes down.
One innovative company that has been quietly researching and toiling away in laboratories for the last two years came out into the spotlight earlier this month with a shining solution to that very problem.(CANON camera battery )
Sunverge, a new company created as a subsidiary of Inertia Energy, unveiled its combo pack of solar panels and laptop battery storage in early February.
The combination offers a lot of bonuses for consumers, said President and co-founder Kenneth Munson. But the benefits to utility companies could be what really lights a fire under the new enterprise, (CASIO camera battery )he said.
The advantage to consumers is that they can spend less on solar panels and still get enough energy from the sun to power their homes completely. Because the company uses sophisticated laptop batteries to store the sun's energy into the evening hours when "people are coming home and using more power," they don't have to buy quite as many solar panels.(FUJIFILM camera battery)
"Of course, you have to add back the camcorder battery cost," Munson said. "But it's still a big savings."
He said that a traditional straight solar array might cost $30,000 to $40,000. A Sunverge system that would accomplish the same ends through different means would cost about $25,000 to $30,000, Munson said.
While that cost savings is appealing to consumers, they will also get bigger benefits from utilities because they won't be buying power during peak times; they'll be supplying it.(KODAK camera battery)
This package could be very well received by utilities, Munson said. Because the energy is stored, and because the company has developed a smart way to group nearby residential homes with its system into a smart meter, utilities will be able to see how much stored energy they have in a collective from Sunverge homes and dispatch that power when and where it's needed, Munson said.(NIKON camera battery)
The Power Tools Batteries Sunverge is using are sophisticated. They work with different kinds of batteries from different manufacturers. The primary choice is a Lithium-Ion chemistry battery, Munson said. But they don't perform well in extreme temperatures, so the company uses different types of batteries.
The batteries themselves are not overly-cumbersome. They fit in with the standard home utility areas and are expected to last 15 to 20 years, Munson said.(SONY camera battery)
The company just announced itself to the market this month and has already seen a lot of interest, Munson said.

Tesla’s European Electric Car Battery Recycling information
Tesla Motors as it announced the launch of its Europe-wide laptop battery recycling program for tired battery packs last month.t may be the largest battery pack available in any electric car on the road today.
Compared to some other electric car battery packs, Tesla’s 52-kilowatt-hour packs aren’t destined to be used in a battery backup system for a computer server farm or Solar power project.They used a series of processes, the spent Dell Inspiron 1545 Battery packs are turned into an alloy metal that contains some of the battery’s constituent components, including cobalt and nickel.Once in the form of an alloy, the valuable cobalt can be extracted and used to make lithium cobalt oxide – a major component in many lithium-ion batteries.
The processes form part of a closed-loop system, where spent lithium ion batteries enter and compounds ready to be used in new batteries exit.
Umicore and Tesla claim their battery recycling technology will save about 70 percent of CO2 emissions of lithium-ion Dell Inspiron 1525 Battery at the recovery stage.In the future, Tesla hopes the processes can be further refined, allowing further so-called secondary raw materials to be recovered.
But with lithium-ion batteries, less of the pack has traditionally been recycled.Tesla’s ultimate goal is to completely recycle every battery pack, reducing the cost of battery manufacture as well as dependence on newly mined materials.The deal with Umicore should be another nail in the electric vehicle skeptic’s coffin, as it will no longer be possible to claim that lithium ion Dell Inspiron 1525 Battery are not recyclable.
This is a very shocking news to many people.If this is true that means the Tesla battery pack is basically worthless once capacity drops too much.No second life for less critical purposes, just the scrapyard. Since capacity is expected to drop to 70% after 5 years and 50 thousand miles and replacement cost was stated to be $36k in 2009 that would boil down to Dell inspiron 1545 battery cost of $0.64 per mile in case of no residual value of the old pack. you can make mor information from website buy-laptop-battery.org or laptop-battery.net.au.
We really hope there is any truth in recent rumours spread by ex Tesla’s Martin Eberhard that Tesla’s battery cost could get as low as $200/KWH.So the anti-EV group’s biggest form of artillery has just been, well, recycled.
