This matters because efficient battery function, especially charge and recharge capabilities, is one of the key obstacles to the viability of lithium-oxygen batteries as a replacement technology for the lithium-ion batteries that are currently the industry standard for rechargeables, from phones to cars. Even though they may look simple on the outside, the lithium-ion batteries in most of our rechargeable devices are the result of complex chemical reactions.

The EV is powered by lithium ion batteries and can reach 200 kilometers for every charge. The Nissan Leaf has won Car of the Year Japan for 2011-2012, according to the executive committee for the award announced at the Tokyo Auto Show. The Leaf is Nissan’s first mass-produced electric car and since then they’ve moved just over 20,000 vehicles.

The major technological challenge to completing the Volt is its lithium-ion battery. While the lithium-ion battery can outlast the current standard nickel hydride battery, it has a tendency to overheat. As an example, laptops use lithium-ion batteries. The lithium-ion battery is also currently too expensive to use in a competitively-priced car. Bob Lutz, General Motors’ Vice President of Global Development is not a stupid man.

Today rechargeable lithium-ion batteries power our lives, from cars and cameras to computers and cell phones. But when it comes to storing energy at the grid level — which is what the world needs to accelerate the switch to renewable sources — lithium-ion batteries are impractical. Cost alone would prohibit the use of lithium-ion batteries for storage at large scales regardless of other challenges. Update on the NatureNet Science Fellows: Won-Hee Ryu.

When warmed, the negative ions in salt lamps are charged which inspires the purification of the air Activated Charcoal: First used in wars long gone, due to its ability to remove heavy metals and toxins in the body, activated charcoal was taken internally by soldiers who were exposed to poisonous gases. The rapidly growing air freshener industry is constantly offering us some fancy new odor eliminator with advanced technology that is supposed rid our indoor air of foul smelling odors.

When the EV network builder Better Place launched their electric car battery exchange network in Denmark last month , not everyone was overly enthusiastic that the company’s unique system of stations to exchange the special lithium ion battery pack with freshly charged ones would go over with the Danes. Denmark’s Thomson prefers “freedom of charge&# over Better Place’s forced charging network.

The bike features a 141hp electric motor and a 14kWh lithium-ion battery system. Mission announced their Mission R electric superbike at the Longbeach Motorshow late last year. “The heart of the Mission R is an advanced MissionEVT powertrain that packs 141hp and 14.4 kWh of energy storage in a package smaller than a 600cc sportbike. The liquid-cooled AC Induction motor produces 115 ft.
