UCSD team develops new disordered rock salt anode for fast-charging, safer lithium-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Researchers at UC San Diego, with their colleagues at other institutions, have developed a new anode material that enables lithium-ion batteries to be safely recharged within minutes for thousands of cycles. The capacity and energy will be a little bit lower than graphite, but it’s faster, safer and has a longer life.

Remembering Lithium-Ion Battery Pioneer John Goodenough

Cars That Think

Goodenough , one of the inventors of the lithium-ion battery, died on 25 June at age 100. He probably is best known for developing the lithium cobalt oxide cathode in 1980—which became the foundation for Sony’s first commercial lithium-ion battery in 1991. His first was lithium cobalt oxide.
