UCSD team develops new disordered rock salt anode for fast-charging, safer lithium-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

As reported in a paper in the journal Nature , the disordered rock salt Li 3+x V 2 O 5 can be used as a fast-charging anode that can reversibly cycle two lithium ions at an average voltage of about 0.6 The capacity and energy will be a little bit lower than graphite, but it’s faster, safer and has a longer life.

LLTO anode material for safe batteries with a long cycle life

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and Jilin University in Changchun/China have investigated a highly promising anode material for future high-performance batteries: lithium lanthanum titanate with a perovskite crystal structure (LLTO). However, negative electrodes made of graphite have a low charging rate.
