New strategy for dendrite-free Li-metal batteries based on atomic channels

Green Car Congress

An international team of researchers has developed a new strategy for dendrite-free lithium-metal batteries based on the use of interlayer and intralayer atomic channels in graphite formed by pre-tunnelling the graphite layers. An open-access paper on the work is published in the RSC journal Energy & Environmental Science.

New class of high entropy materials for energy storage applications

Green Car Congress

A team led by researchers from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Germany is proposing a new class of high entropy materials for energy storage applications. The Li-containing entropy-stabilized oxyfluoride (Li x (Co 0.2 V vs. Li + /Li, enabling its use as a cathode active material.

Navy researchers boost performance of Ni-Zn cells commensurate with Li-ion; safer alternative

Green Car Congress

Joseph Parker, Jeffrey Long, and Debra Rolison from NRL’s Advanced Electrochemical Materials group are leading the effort to create an entire family of safer, water-based, zinc batteries. The long-standing limitation that has prevented implementing Zn in next-generation batteries lies in its poor rechargeability due to dendrite formation. (A)

New cobalt-free high-voltage spinel cathode material with high areal capacity

Green Car Congress

Advancing cathode materials with both high energy density and low cost have always been the main objective of battery material research. It should be noted, the cost and sustainability of lithium-ion batteries are not only limited by the production of Co and Ni but also potentially limited by the lithium element itself. …

Researchers show that layered calcium transition metal oxides can be promising cathode materials for Ca-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Out of several candidates that could replace Li in rechargeable batteries, calcium (Ca) stands out as a promising metal. Not only is Ca 10,000 times more abundant than Li, but it can also yield—in theory—similar battery performance. —Prof. Haesun Park, Chung-Ang University, co-corresponding author.
