High-energy nickel (Ni)–rich cathode will play a key role in advanced lithium (Li)–ion batteries, but it suffers from moisture sensitivity, side reactions, and gas generation. We observe reversible planar gliding and microcracking along the (003) plane in a single-crystalline Ni-rich cathode. —Bi et al.

The team used a a promising combination of cathode and electrolyte: the nickel-rich cathode allows a large amount of energy per mass to be stored, while the ionic liquid electrolyte ensures that the capacity is largely retained over many charging cycles. The team reports on the lithium metal battery in an open-access paper in Joule.

More nickel in a battery means it can store more energy. That increased energy density can lead to longer battery life for a phone or greater range for an electric vehicle with each charge. graduate Wangda Li. graduate Wangda Li. codoped NMC (NMCAM) of identical Ni content (89 mol%) synthesized in?house.

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, Chung-Ang University, co-corresponding author.

A team at Argonne National Laboratory has used spatially resolved energy dispersive X-ray diffraction to obtain a “movie” of lithiation and delithiation in different sections of a Li-ion battery cell and to quantify lithium gradients that develop in a porous graphite electrode during cycling at a 1C rate (full discharge in 1 hour).

The projects were selected as part of ARPA-E’s Mining Innovations for Negative Emissions Resource Recovery (MINER) program. Feedstocks will include Li/Ni/Ca/Mg-rich igneous and sedimentary minerals. The technology has been proved for copper-sulfide minerals, which will improve the yields of Cu and ultimately Ni.

Cheaper to produce than lithium-ion batteries, they can also store more energy (theoretically five times more than that of lithium-ion batteries), are much safer, and are more environmentally friendly. This is due to the lack of electrocatalysts that successfully reduce and generate oxygen during the discharging and charging of a battery.
