Now, researchers from MIT, with a colleague from Toyota Motor Europe’s R&D group, have carried out detailed tests that seem to resolve the questions surrounding one promising material for such batteries: lithium iodide (LiI). They then used ultraviolet and visible-light spectroscopy and other techniques to study the reactions that took place.
