UT Austin team develops new family of high-capacity anode materials: Interdigitated Eutectic Alloys

Green Car Congress

It is a simple, low-cost approach that can be applied to a broad range of alloy systems with various working ions such as Li, Na, or Mg. Our results show that the material succeeds very well on the performance metrics needed to make a commercially viable advance in lithium-ion batteries. —Karl Kreder. Kreder, III, Brian T.

Goodenough and UT team report new strategy for all-solid-state Na or Li battery suitable for EVs; plating cathodes

Green Car Congress

Replacing a conventional host insertion compound as a cathode by a redox center for plating an alkali-metal cathode provides a safe, low-cost, all-solid-state cell with a large capacity resulting in high energy density and a long cycle life. This research is supported by UT Austin, but there are no grants associated with this work.
