“Single crystal (SC) cathode materials with a layered structure are considered to be state-of-the-art for lithium ion batteries”

“However, their production involves many steps and can produce large amounts of wastewater”

“Here we report an all-dry method for making SC cathodes”
“LiNi0.6Mn0.2Co0.2O2 (SC-NMC) is used as a specific example”

“It was found that a SC-NMC precursor in the form of a previously unobserved rock-salt (Ni, Mn, Co)O solid solution phase can be made phase pure by ball milling”
“This demonstrates that precursors with atomic scale mixing can be achieved by dry methods”

“It is furthermore shown that large precursor particle sizes are not necessary to form large SC-NMC particles as is commonly believed”
“Instead, large crystallites could just as easily be made from submicron precursors by adjusting the sintering time in air”
“As a result, highly crystalline SC-NMC with precisely controlled average crystallite sizes ranging from ~2–10 μm could be made from submicron precursor powders made using an all-dry process”

LET’S NEVER ASSUME THAT WE ALREADY KNOW ALL THE ANSWERS

Nissan bets on EV supremacy for growth, CEO says - Nikkei Asia asia.nikkei.com/Editor-s-Picks…
Nissan President and CEO Makoto Uchida says the automaker will "take advantage of the scale of the alliance" with Renault and Mitsubishi Motors in electrification technology, which he sees as a source of future revenue
He also says electrification may drive a restructuring in the auto industry and didn't deny the possibility of expanding the alliance

Porsche, Ferrari Cars Face $59,000 Gas-Guzzlers Tax in France

A draft budget law weaving its way through France’s parliament may force car shoppers to reconsider purchases of Porsche, Ferrari or Lamborghini models that guzzle gasoline
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
The government in Europe’s second-largest auto market is planning to more than double the “malus” -- or penalty -- consumers must pay based on cars’ carbon-dioxide emissions to as much as 50,000 euros ($59,000) in 2022
The proposal would increase what already are the continent’s costliest taxes on polluting passenger vehicles

In summary, we have developed an all-dry method for producing single crystal lithium cathode materials with a layered structure

This method was developed based on a number of key discoveries
iopscience.iop.org/article/10.114…
1. Ball milling a mixture of transition metal oxides can produce homogeneous Ni,Mn,Co-oxide precursors, even to the extent of atomic mixing, so that previously unobserved (Ni, Mn, Co)O solid solution rock salt phase precursors can be formed
2. The final crystallite size of SC-NMC is only related to the heating conditions and has no relation to the precursor particle size, as previously believed

Nissan Motor will equip all future vehicles with basic automated driving functions, aiming to release more than 20 such models by fiscal 2023

The technology will enable Nissan's more expensive models to be operated hands-free on the highway
asia.nikkei.com/Business/Autom…
Low to midprice cars will be able to track vehicles in front of them

To make this happen Nissan will have to navigate complex safety issues as advanced automated driving systems will put the car itself in charge of most of the vehicle's operation
The Japanese automaker plans to use its cars' operational data to develop more advanced functions

It will therefore place priority on encouraging wide takeup of the technology

PLEASE DON’T HOLD YOUR BREATH FOR THIS ONE

Mercedes Vision EQXX prototype teases a 750 mile electric car range with images hinting at ‘Shanghai to Beijing’ or ‘Nice to Stuttgart’ on one charge

And who is it that wants to go from Nice to Stuttgart ?
autoexpress.co.uk/mercedes/35335…
Mercedes has revealed it is developing a new prototype electric car that it claims will have the longest ‘electric range’ and ‘highest efficiency’ of any battery-powered vehicle
Called the Mercedes Vision EQXX, the prototype was teased during the brand’s 2020 strategy update

No technical information or targets have been issued, but a presentation slide teased “Beijing to Shanghai on one charge ?”

SpaceX took in $1.9 billion in new funding and plans to raise more, capping off a busy period that includes its first successful human spaceflight, a launch for a satellite-based Internet service and work on a massive ship slated to carry people to Mars
fortune.com/2020/08/18/elo…
The company founded by Elon Musk sold the bulk of its planned $2.07 billion offering to investors starting Aug. 4, according to a regulatory filing Tuesday

SpaceX plans to sell another $165 million in equity and preferred stock
Seventy-five investors have participated in the latest round of funding, which will value the company at $46 billion, Bloomberg News reported last week

That would rank SpaceX as one of the most valuable venture-backed U.S. companies
