Solid state batteries: what they are and how they work

Redazione
batterie allo stato solido

Solid state batteries represent a significant leap forward in electric vehicle technology. Unlike traditional lithium-ion batteries, which consist of a liquid electrolyte, solid-state batteries use a solid electrolyte, improving energy storage capacity and reducing charging times. Traditional lithium-ion cells contain four elements: anode, cathode, liquid electrolyte, and separator. Solid-state batteries simplify this design to just three elements: anode, cathode, and solid electrolyte, which acts as both an ionic conductor and separator Solid-state electrolytes can be polymeric, ceramic, or hybrid. Polymeric electrolytes enable ion transport through their molecular structure and can…

Come funziona una batteria al litio

Agricultural machines powered by electric motors powered by so-called “lithium batteries” are on the rise, components that can however be characterised by extremely different chemical compositions and therefore equally different performances. In these pages, a review of the most widespread types on the market, developed thanks to the collaboration with the online magazine “NewsAuto.it” Lithium Manganese Oxide (LiMn2O4) – Lmo The rise of electric-powered agricultural machinery has led to increased reliance on so-called “lithium batteries.” However, these batteries can feature vastly different chemical compositions, leading to significant performance variations. In this…

Open-source platform: the future is in software

Redazione
Piattaforma open source

The three major German automotive groups — BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Volkswagen — together with eight other industrial players in the mobility sector, including Bosch, ZF, and Continental, have formed an alliance to develop an open-source software platform for the vehicles of the future The word software combines the ideas of product and softness — a curious pairing, considering how vital and tangible its impact has become. The first term, product, is fitting if we recall that seven of the ten richest people in the world work or began their careers…

Wooden Batteries. A team of technicians led by Florian Feist and based at the Institute for Vehicle Safety at the Technical University of Graz, Austria, has created a protective casing for electric car batteries using a mix of wood and thin sheet steel instead of the aluminium extrusions currently used, a particularly energy-intensive production system Hence the idea of ​​replacing the aluminum with an extremely thin steel skin whose chambers are filled with wood. The steel skin is welded directly to the wooden core, whose cells collapse in the event…

energie alternative fusione fredda

Alternative energy: cold fusion wanted. Studies continue worldwide to verify the feasibility of producing energy through “LENR” (Low Energy Nuclear Reaction) nuclear transmutations. This includes the analyses being conducted by the Italian laboratory Prometheus, located within the “Kilometro Rosso” science park in Bergamo. The Egyptians called it “Bennu,” the Greeks “Phoînix,” and the Latins “Phoenicis,” a term later Italianized as “Phoenix.” Common to all names is the underlying reference to a bird of divine origins, capable of controlling fire and rising from its own ashes after death. Depicted at times…

Bosch digital fuel twin: one step closer

Redazione

A software solution Bosch digital fuel twin is now available. It certifies the use of renewable synthetic fuels, also measuring the footprint of each refueling operation in terms of “Life Cycle Assessment.” A concrete contribution to overcoming those environmental extremisms that envision the future of transportation, industrial machinery, and agricultural equipment as being based exclusively on electric power According to the most narrow-minded form of environmental extremism, from 2035 onwards no newly produced machines should be powered by anything other than electric solutions. An absurdity that is already causing significant…

Porsche’s six-stroke engine: a game-changing innovation for decarbonization

Redazione

Porsche has introduced an innovative patent for a six-stroke engine designed to enhance the energy efficiency of its propulsion systems while addressing the challenges of decarbonization. The European Union’s green policies are accelerating deindustrialization across the continent, triggering economic stagnation and recession. Germany, heavily impacted, is now officially in a technical recession, with the automotive sector among the hardest hit. Last year, vehicle registrations dropped significantly, with August recording double-digit declines: Germany -28%, France -24%, Italy -13.5%, and Spain -6.5%. Even electric vehicle sales fell by over 40%, despite substantial…
