Now, a study by a team of researchers, led by Professor Noriyoshi Matsumi from Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST), showcases a new approach to facilitate fast charging using a binder material which promotes Li + -ion intercalation of active material. A paper on their work is published in ACS Materials Letters.

The team’s battery chemistry with the solid electrolyte can potentially boost the energy density by as much as four times above lithium-ion batteries, which translates into longer driving range. The four-electron reaction is enabled by a mixed ion–electron-conducting discharge product and its interface with air.

Although silicon anodes could greatly boost the capacity of Li-ion batteries, their performance rapidly degrades with use. The study, led by Professor Noriyoshi Matsumi with Dr. Sai Gourang Patnaik and Dr. Tejkiran Pindi Jayakumar, who were completing a doctoral course at JAIST at the time, is published in ACS Applied Energy Materials.

A team led by Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) researcher Yan Wang has developed a solvent-free process to manufacture lithium-ion battery electrodes that are greener, cheaper, and charge faster than electrodes currently on the market. The dry-coated electrodes were then heated and compressed with rollers.
