MIT-led team devises new approach to designing solid ion conductors; implications for high-energy solid-state batteries

Green Car Congress

Therefore, it is of great importance to design new lithium ion conductors having not only high Li conductivity but also being stable during battery operation. The new design principle has been about five years in the making, Shao-Horn says. That’s where the new design principle comes in. —Muy et al.

Lamborghini licenses MIT’s Cobalt-free organic battery tech for EVs – ET Auto

Baua Electric

Researchers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology ( MIT ), including one of Indian-origin, have designed a new battery material that could offer a more sustainable, cobalt-free way to power electric cars. The new battery also has comparable storage capacity and can be charged up faster than cobalt batteries.

Researchers use in situ NMR spectroscopy to provide insight into silicon expansion in Li-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Although researchers have made progress in designing materials to mitigate this effect, a lack of understanding about what is happening inside the batteries and what governs the reactions continues to retard commercialization. Using this technique will help make battery design much more systematic, and less trial and error. Resources.

JCESR team advances prospects of solid-state magnesium-ion batteries with discovery of fastest magnesium-ion solid-state conductor

Green Car Congress

However, poor mobility of Mg 2+ (and other multivalent cations) prevents the development of a broad spectrum of cathode materials, as are available to lithium- and sodium-ion battery technologies. In addition, we propose practical design rules to identify fast multivalent-ion solid conductors.
