SLAC, MIT, TRI researchers advance machine learning to accelerate battery development; insights on fast-charging

Green Car Congress

Hongbo Zhao/MIT). But a new study by SLAC and Stanford researchers paints a different picture (right): Some particles release a lot of ions immediately and a fast clip, while others release ions slowly or not at all. This uneven pattern stresses the battery and reduces its lifetime.

MIT study finds materials risk exposure increases significantly with vehicle electrification

Green Car Congress

Now, a study by a team from MIT’s Materials Systems Laboratory, with support from Ford, provides insight into how electrification is changing vehicle composition and how that change is driving supply risk vulnerability. Modern automobiles are built with more than 2,000 different compounds comprising 76 different elements.
