PNNL: single-crystal nickel-rich cathode holds promise for next-generation Li-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

High-energy nickel (Ni)–rich cathode will play a key role in advanced lithium (Li)–ion batteries, but it suffers from moisture sensitivity, side reactions, and gas generation. Researchers are working on ways to store more energy in the cathode materials by increasing nickel content. —Bi et al.

ARPA-E to award $30M to increase performance of solid ion conductors for batteries, fuel cells

Green Car Congress

IONICS also seeks to develop and apply methods for processing of solid ion conductors and their integration into electrochemical devices. Program Categories include: Lithium (Li) ion conductors that enable the cycling of Li metal without shorting; Selective and low-cost separators for batteries with liquid reactants (e.g.,
