MIT electrolyte enables ultra-high voltage Ni-rich cathodes in Li-metal batteries

Green Car Congress

V in lithium-metal batteries (LMBs). The electrolyte not only suppresses side reactions, stress-corrosion cracking, transition-metal dissolution and impedance growth on the cathode side, but also enables highly reversible Li metal stripping and plating on the lithium-metal anode (LMA), leading to a compact morphology and low pulverization.

Researchers show that layered calcium transition metal oxides can be promising cathode materials for Ca-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Out of several candidates that could replace Li in rechargeable batteries, calcium (Ca) stands out as a promising metal. Not only is Ca 10,000 times more abundant than Li, but it can also yield—in theory—similar battery performance. Haesun Park, Christopher J. 202101698.

New aqueous rechargeable lithium battery shows good safety, high reliability, high energy density and low cost; another post Li-ion alternative

Green Car Congress

Schematic illustration of the aqueous rechargeable lithium battery (ARLB) using the coated lithium metal as anode, LiMn 2 O 4 as cathode and 0.5 mol l -1 Li 2 SO 4 aqueous solution as electrolyte. If anode materials of lower redox potentials can be stable in aqueous electrolytes, high energy density systems will be feasible.
