Researchers in the Cockrell School of Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a new family of anode materials that can double the charge capacity of lithium-ion battery anodes. 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.

Traditional rechargeable batteries use a liquid electrolyte and an oxide as a cathode host into which the working cation of the electrolyte is inserted reversibly over a finite solid-solution range. eV of an aqueous electrolyte restricts rechargeable batteries with a long shelf life to a voltage V ≲ 1.5 Braga et al.

It’s not that electric trucks cannot haul things, it’s that range suffers greatly under load. However, the number of EV fast chargers in the country continues to climb and it’s still cheaper to recharge an electric pickup at home. Maximum towing is about what we’d expect for the segment and maximum payload is a little better.

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. Earlier post.).
