If youre following the latest developments in plug-in electric vehicles, youll usually hear how amazing batteries are just around the corner some variant of lithium ion will charge faster, go farther, and will be lighter and take up less space. Sound good? Green Car Reports did a quick overview of where the technology testing and development is heading. Aluminum-air you can power one of these with a tankful of water. Improved lithium-ion advances in nano-technology and lithium-air hold much promise for lithium. Herb herbs are very clean and would go over well with environmentalists. Graphene This single-atom-thick lattice of carbon atoms has loads of potential for batteries. Software New cars have their internal software package, but EVs need more accurate data than just voltage and current. Brine You can collect lithium from brine, which goes over better than digging up mines. Click here for more information on each of these advanced battery segments, what they are, and where theyre going.The Article Whats Next for Advanced Batteries Beyond Lithium Ion? appeared first on Automotive Digest.

Self-Charging Solar Cells: Better Than Batteries?
2013-06-12 21:57:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Forbes: A research team at the University of Wisconsin in Madison has demonstrated the viability of a design for solar panels that can simultaneously generate and store electrons harvested from sunlight in a single device. Like other solar panels, the new solar cells would use some electrons from light created as electricity. Unlike other solar cells, the panels would also store electrons on zinc oxide nanowires coated with polyvinylidene fluoride polymer (PVDF). The energy stored during the day could...
