DRX cathodes could provide batteries with higher energy density than conventional lithium-ion battery cathodes made of nickel and cobalt, two metals that are in critically short supply. In a rock salt structure, cations (positively charged ions) and anions (negatively charged ions) are arranged in a specific pattern.

Researchers at the Toyota Research Institute of North America (TRINA) have developed an insertion-type tin (Sn) anode material for use in a magnesium-ion (Mg-ion) battery ( earlier post ) that shows superior operating voltages and capacity. Because magnesium is divalent, it can thereby displace double the charge per ion (i.e.,

Korea have developed a simple synthetic method for producing carbon-based hybrid cellular nanosheets that exhibit strong electrochemical performance for many key aspects of high-performance lithium-ion battery anodes. The nanosheets consist of close-packed cubic cavity cells partitioned by carbon walls, resembling plant leaf tissue.
