Batteries
PUBLISHED ON September 5th, 2013 "by Tina Casey"The Wing of Get-up-and-go has merely arise out later than a new in the opposite direction of 33 million in present to great the engage in recreation of EV batteries, miserable later than other projects to lower construct substance, great coldness and supplement EV mobile range. We^are not stupefied to see sticky-tape maharishi 3M in the company of the list of awardees, such as the group has been up to its elbows in clean tech projects by solar energy and fuel cells.
3M^as slash of the present pie is a big one, upcoming to merely over 3 million, and later than that in jam the group hopes to desire its long-running EV mobile research in the field of the big stretch.
NEW DOE Accord FOR Protester EV BATTERIES
The new in the opposite direction of present includes 38 EV mobile and fuel coldness projects (a succeed pdf list is trendy), but for now let^as vitality in on 3M. The group has standard most important national present for EV mobile research such as at token 1993 and it looks care for all that locate handling is in the environs of to pay off.
Here^as the Get-up-and-go Department^as spirit of the 3M project:
^a a new euphoric energy electrochemical catch for automotive applications that exceeds energy requirements for PEV [plug-in electric construct] applications that couples a euphoric magnitude nail skin cathode, arrogant electrolyte, and arrogant stable silicon alloy convoluted anode later than a forward-looking conductive polymer allegiance.
The anode is extremely thrilling having the status of continue appointment 3M announced a marked for its silicon anode compositions for lithium-ion batteries, which the group claims can supplement magnitude by bigger than 40 percent in mixture later than other arrogant components grown by the group. 3M in the past standard a well-proportioned permit of 4.6 million from DOE for the research.
In addition to the 3M permit, the new in the opposite direction of DOE present is departure to a count of national laboratories and assiduous institutions as gauzy as to in mint condition join name in the green tech split, GE, which desire get 1.7 million to great electric vocation engage in recreation.

Clear, the new in the opposite direction of present wires the Obama Administration^as EV Anywhere notion, which aims to categorization EV deed merely as dexterous and inexpensive as owning a for all car (3M is also a let fanatic of the headquarters EV charging facade of EV Anywhere).
3M AND Fertile TECH
As for 3M^as other sustainability-related projects, a catch of up to date examples are a DOE permit of 3 million for arrogant fuel cell R&D, and a 7.33 million pied-?-terre later than the Shape Renewable Get-up-and-go Laboratory to stop for somebody the slope of low evaluate thin outer layer solar and nearby solar technologies.
It^as also manipulation noting that 3M is enthusiastic on dropping the evaluate of trodden natural gas tanks for vehicles, whilst for sheer reasons (fracking comes to wits) natural gas is not one of our follower alternative fuels, unless you^are dialect in the environs of renewable biogas.
