JANUARY 21, 2013

More recently, at the University of Texas, Austin, Dr. Goodenough patented a new class of iron phosphate materials. A first step will be plug-in hybrids [PHEVs] used for daily commuting. However, cost is a constraint that has made difficult even replacement of lead-acid batteries with the 2 V Li[Li 1/3 Ti 5/3 ]O 4 /LiFePO 4 cell.
