UCSD team develops new disordered rock salt anode for fast-charging, safer lithium-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

As reported in a paper in the journal Nature , the disordered rock salt Li 3+x V 2 O 5 can be used as a fast-charging anode that can reversibly cycle two lithium ions at an average voltage of about 0.6 volts versus a Li/Li + reference electrode. other intercalation anode candidates (Li 3 VO 4 and LiV 0.5
