Researchers at Argonne National Laboratory have developed a new approach to cobalt-free Li-ion cathodes that avoids some of the problems with other low-cobalt cathode approaches. A paper on their work appears in the Journal of Power Sources. Ni is in between Co and Mn in all these criteria. Croy, Brandon R. 2019.227113.

Hongjie Dai and his research lab at Stanford University have developed a prototype that can generate hydrogen fuel from seawater. Theoretically, to power cities and cars, you need so much hydrogen it is not conceivable to use purified water, said Hongjie Dai, J.G. Image credit: Courtesy of H. Dai, Yun Kuang, Michael Kenney).

Conventional electrolytes for Li-ion batteries contain ethylene carbonate (EC) and other additives. However, the cycling performance of Li-ion cells using these carbonate-based electrolytes has been poor at higher voltages (≥4.4 A paper on their work is published the Journal of Power Sources.
