Researchers at the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have reported that a new photo-excitation mechanism can speed up the charging of lithium-ion batteries by a factor of two or more. A serious limitation [of lithium-ion batteries], however, is the slow charging rate used to obtain the full capacity.

Researchers in Europe have been investigating the potential of the protonated hexatitanate H 2 Ti 6 O 13 as an anode material for rechargeable lithium batteries. Results of their work suggests that the properties of H 2 Ti 6 O 13 seem to surpass those of the parent compound Li 2 Ti 6 O 13. Figure courtesy of J. Pérez-Flores.
