UCI and national lab researchers use high-entropy doping for cobalt-free cathodes for Li-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the University of California, Irvine and four national laboratories have devised a way to make lithium-ion battery cathodes without using cobalt. Owing to the considerably increased thermal stability and the zero volumetric change, it exhibits greatly improved capacity retention. —Zhang et al.

DOE issues RFI to strengthen battery critical materials supply chains

Green Car Congress

The US Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy (EERE) announced a request for information (RFI) ( DOE-FOA-0002358 ) on challenges and opportunities in the upstream and midstream critical-materials battery supply chains. Refinement of materials—both critical and not—for battery cathode.
