Novel Li-metal electrode design could lead to more powerful solid-state batteries

Green Car Congress

Researchers at MIT and their colleagues are proposing a new design for electrodes that, based on the long-sought goal of using pure lithium metal as the anode, could lead to longer-lived batteries with higher energy densities. We designed this structure that gives us three-dimensional electrodes, like a honeycomb. —Ju Li.

New cathode design and understanding of electrolyte delivers greater efficiency in magnesium-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Researchers have achieved a significant boost in the storage capacity of magnesium-ion batteries through a new design for the cathode and a new understanding of the electrolyte. The new battery stores energy by inserting magnesium monochloride into a host, such as titanium disulfide. —Yoo et al.

UH, Toyota researchers develop new cathode and electrolyte for high-power Mg battery rivaling Li-ion

Green Car Congress

The other circumvents the difficulties by storing magnesium cation in its complex forms. This new class of redox chemistry bypasses the need of solid-state intercalation while solely storing magnesium, instead of its complex forms, creating a new paradigm in magnesium battery electrode design. Neither approach is practical.
