"Maximizing Electric Vehicle Performance in Cold Weather"

Cold weather can significantly affect the performance and range of electric vehicles (EVs), with some models experiencing a 10-30% reduction in range during winter. To mitigate these effects, drivers can park in covered areas, pre-heat the car's cabin while charging, use heated seats and steering wheel instead of heating the entire car, and ensure proper tire inflation. EVs generally handle well in snow due to their front-wheel or all-wheel drive and low center of gravity, but drivers should still exercise caution and consider using winter or all-season tires for improved traction.

"Combatting Cold Weather Battery Drain in Electric Vehicles"

Frigid temperatures have caused issues for Tesla owners, with reduced driving range and slow charging at Supercharger stations in the Midwest. Cold weather slows down the flow of lithium ions in EV batteries, reducing range and hindering charging. Experts suggest planning and adjusting for cold weather driving, while new battery technologies are being developed to improve cold-weather performance. Preconditioning the battery before charging and planning ahead are recommended for EV owners in cold climates.

Molybdenene: The Next Generation 2D Metallic Material

Scientists have developed a new 2D metallic material called molybdenene, composed of a single atomic layer of molybdenum atoms. Similar in thickness to graphene, molybdenene exhibits impressive heat resistance and has potential applications in enhancing battery performance, atomic microscopy, and spectroscopy. It is mechanically stable and could be used as a coating for electrodes to improve battery efficiency. Additionally, molybdenene's metallic character and freely moving electrons make it an interesting candidate for catalysts and scientific applications such as atomic force microscopy and surface-enhanced RAMAN spectroscopy.

iPhone 15 Pro Max falls short in battery endurance compared to iPhone 14 Pro Max

Battery endurance tests indicate that the iPhone 15 Pro Max and iPhone 15 Pro have worse battery performance than their predecessors, despite having slightly bigger batteries. The iPhone 15 Pro Max lasted 7 hours and 13 minutes, compared to the iPhone 14 Pro Max's runtime of 7 hours and 55 minutes. The iPhone 15 Pro lasted 6 hours, while its predecessor lasted an extra 46 minutes. These results align with tests showing that Apple's new A17 Pro chipset has worse efficiency numbers than the A16 Bionic.

"Argonne National Lab's Breakthrough Boosts Lithium-Sulfur Battery Efficiency"

Argonne National Lab in Illinois has made progress in improving the performance of lithium-sulfur batteries, which have the potential to be lighter, smaller, more powerful, and less expensive than current batteries. Sulfur is cheap and abundant, making it an attractive option for reducing battery costs and enabling more affordable electric vehicles. Additionally, lithium-sulfur batteries eliminate the need for cobalt or nickel, addressing concerns about the social cost of mining these materials. The researchers at Argonne have developed a catalyst that prevents the loss of sulfur during charge/discharge cycles, improving the battery's performance. While it may still take time for lithium-sulfur batteries to become commercially viable, this research brings us closer to a more sustainable and efficient energy storage solution.

Unveiling a Revolutionary Pathway to High-Energy, Low-Cost, and Long-Lasting Batteries

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory have discovered a previously unknown reaction mechanism in lithium-sulfur batteries that addresses their short lifetimes. The breakthrough involves the use of a catalyst in the sulfur cathode, which prevents the dissolution of sulfur and the formation of soluble lithium polysulfides. This discovery could lead to lithium-sulfur batteries with higher energy storage capacity, lower cost, and longer lifetimes, making them a more sustainable and eco-friendly solution for the transportation industry.

Cracking the Code: Scientists Unravel Battery Mystery for Better Performance and Longer Life.

Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have characterized the chemical processes occurring at the electrodes of lithium-ion batteries. Through simulations, they discovered that the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) does not form directly at the electrode but instead accumulates in the solution. The passivation layer on the anode surface is crucial to the electrochemical capacity and lifetime of a lithium-ion battery because it is highly stressed with every charging cycle. The KIT researchers' findings pave the way for optimizing the performance and lifetime of future batteries.
