Ceder group at MIT analyzes the limits and opportunities of phosphates as Li-ion cathode materials using a Materials Genome approach

Green Car Congress

Gerbrand Ceder, have performed a high-throughput ab initio analysis of phosphates as Li-ion cathode materials, computing the voltage, capacity (gravimetric and volumetric), specific energy, energy density, stability, and safety of thousands of phosphate compounds. Different colors and markers have been used for different elements.
