We have known for years that vehicles with internal combustion engines, which produce polluting emissions, are very dangerous for our environment and our planet. It is therefore not surprising that we are increasingly interested in electric vehicles. The environmental advantage is obvious: Eco-friendly driving. In this case, there are no local CO2 emissions, but when it comes to producing the batteries for those vehicles, it becomes a whole different story. In order to move toward an even greener future, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has awarded approximately $1.5 million in funding to Ampcera and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). The goal is to improve the performance and energy density of lithium batteries through additive manufacturing and to make them more economical and sustainable.
Lithium batteries can be considered the heart of any electric car. They…
