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.

The new electrode concept comes from the laboratory of Ju Li, the Battelle Energy Alliance Professor of Nuclear Science and Engineering and professor of materials science and engineering. —Ju Li. One of the biggest problems is that when the battery is charged up, atoms accumulate inside the lithium metal, causing it to expand.

No battery is perfect, however, so engineers keep pushing for new and improved ways to store those electrons. The gravity batteries described in this story lift giant weights in the air or up mine shafts to store excess electricity, releasing the weights later on to recover the stored energy.

Energy Storage Systems Batteries or other storage systems can be integrated into a HEMS to store excess energy during periods of low demand and release it during peak demand times. These systems store excess energy generated during periods of high production and release it when demand is high or when renewable generation is low.

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.,
