The Future of Lithium-Ion and Solid-State Batteries - ASME
May 18, 2021 · A high-power battery, for example, can be discharged in just a few minutes compared to a high-energy battery that discharges in hours. Battery design inherently trades energy density for power density. “Li-ion batteries can be extremely powerful in terms of power density,” says Joong Sun Park, technical manager for Solid State Technology.
3D-printed Lithium-ion Battery Could Power Electric Vehicles, …
Dec 7, 2018 · A lithium-ion battery, or Li-ion battery, is a rechargeable battery in which lithium ions move from the negative electrode to the positive electrode during discharge, and then move back when charging . Lithium-ion battery electrodes 3-D printed with a lattice provides channels for lithium to move effectively into the electrode.
New Process Transforms Lithium Battery Recycling - ASME
May 3, 2016 · The rechargeable lithium-ion battery market was $11.8 billion in 2011 and is expected to increase to $50 billion by 2020. With rapid growth in the consumer electronics and hybrid and electric vehicle markets, lithium-ion batteries will only grow in demand.

Ultrasonic Welding of Lithium-Ion Batteries - ASME
By Wayne W. Cai, Bongsu Kang, and S. Jack Hu eBook edition is available on The ASME Digital Collection. This book seeks to make an original contribution to the knowledge base underpinning ultrasonic metal welding (USMW), particularly for the manufacturing of lithium-ion (li-ion) battery cells, modules, and packs as used in electric vehicles.
Lithium Valley Could Be California’s New Hot Spot - ASME
Feb 2, 2023 · The lithium-ion battery is a crucial component of most rechargeable technologies, whether EVs, laptop computers, or energy storage for solar power, and recent demand has led to a supply crunch. While virtually all the lithium used in the United States is imported from South America, lithium itself is not necessarily rare.
Making the Next-Generation Lithium-Ion Batteries Safer, Longer
Oct 24, 2018 · Samsung Advanced Institute of Technologyin 2017 announced a new battery material called “graphene ball” that enables a 45 percent increase in capacity, and a charging speed that is five times faster than standard lithium-ion batteries. A battery based on the graphene ball material requires only 12 minutes to fully charge, according to ...
Future Battery for the Electric Car - ASME
May 1, 2013 · With a pure lithium anode rather than graphite, these batteries can store as much as five and half times the energy that a lithium ion battery can hold. And sulfur is cheap and plentiful. The small downside is that the battery dies after 50 or so cycles. Short Life Span. For some time now researchers have thought they understood why lithium ...
Battery-Based Desalination Made Possible - ASME
Sep 28, 2023 · Run a lithium-ion or sodium-ion battery at a high-enough current and salt scoots away from one electrode and collects on the other. Since the salt depletion effect leads to a drop in capacity, it’s engineered out of a battery design, usually by making the electrodes thin.
Nanotechnology Fuels Safe Lithium Ion Batteries - ASME
May 2, 2018 · Lithium ion batteries are highly desirable for portable electronics, power tools and equipment, and even electric vehicles because of their effective combination of high energy and power in a tiny space. But as demand for increasingly smaller and lighter yet more energy dense batteries has grown, so has the risk of short circuiting, causing the ...
