MIT teams receiving $10M from TRI for next-gen battery materials

Green Car Congress

MIT’s Martin Bazant, joined by colleagues at Stanford University and Purdue University, will lead an effort to develop a novel, data-driven design of lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries. The researchers aim to identify new classes of stable, highly active electrocatalysts that are less expensive to produce and commercialize.
