Researchers at Georgia Tech have developed a promising new conversion-type cathode and electrolyte system that replaces expensive metals and traditional liquid electrolyte with lower cost transition metal fluorides and a solid polymer electrolyte. The Georgia Tech team sought to overcome those obstacles by using the solid polymer electrolyte.

The liquid is then heated to 120-150 ?C F) to release the CO 2 gas, after which the liquids are reused. They added diamine molecules to a magnesium-based MOF to catalyze the formation of polymer chains of CO 2 that could then be purged by flushing with a humid stream of carbon dioxide. C (250-300 ?F)

Stanford researchers have developed a fast and reversible thermoresponsive polymer switching (TRPS) material that can be incorporated inside batteries to prevent thermal runaway. This material consists of electrochemically stable graphene-coated spiky nickel nanoparticles mixed in a polymer matrix with a high thermal expansion coefficient.

The final product is either a fine micro-fibrous polymer mat that resembles white tissue paper, or polymer micro-beads with a diameter of ~ 0.5 - 5µm, with the hydride material entrained in ~50 - 200nm pores within the polymer. It also protects the hydrides from oxygen and water, making it possible to handle it in air.
