Ohio State researchers use neutron depth profiling to track flow of Li atoms into and out of anode in real time

Green Car Congress

Using a neutron beam, chemists and engineers at The Ohio State University have been able to track the flow of lithium atoms into and out of an anode in real time as a Li-ion battery charged and discharged. It’s also used in the semiconductor industry, where it measures the concentration of dopants in silicon wafers.

In contrast, internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles can only refuel at a gas station licensed to handle and store an inflammable liquid. The Union of Concerned Scientists documents that an ICE vehicle in Ohio must maintain an average of 60 mpg to equal the emissions used to produce what’s needed to run an EV for the same distance.
