John Goodenough at the University of Texas at Austin and colleague Kyu-Sung Park have written a perspective paper on Li-ion batteries (LIBs), published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society. More recently, at the University of Texas, Austin, Dr. Goodenough patented a new class of iron phosphate materials.

The researchers demonstrated that their new battery cells have at least three times as much energy density as today’s lithium-ion batteries. The UT Austin battery formulation also allows for a greater number of charging and discharging cycles—more than 1,200 cycles with low cell resistance. Murchison at UT Austin.
