Berkeley Lab researchers shed light on how lithium-rich cathodes work, opening the door to higher capacity batteries

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) report a major advance in understanding how oxygen oxidation creates extra capacity in lithium-rich cathodes, opening the door to batteries with far higher energy density. This is a very exciting direction being pursued by battery scientists.
