Researchers at MIT and their colleagues are proposing a new design for electrodes that, based on the long-sought goal of using pure lithium metal as the anode, could lead to longer-lived batteries with higher energy densities. The new cathode does not rely only on the capacity contribution from these transition-metals in battery cycling.
