U Texas team develops cobalt-free high-energy lithium-ion battery

Green Car Congress

Researchers from the Cockrell School of Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a cobalt-free high-energy lithium-ion battery, eliminating the cobalt and opening the door to reducing the costs of producing batteries while boosting performance in some ways. More nickel in a battery means it can store more energy.

Nanjing researchers design new Li-rich layered cathode

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Nanjing University (China) have introduced a new layered C2/m oxide—Li 2 Ni 0.2 Compared with Li 2 MnO 3 (LMO), LNMR displays superior capacity, a more stable capacity retention rate, higher energy density and average discharge voltage. In such materials, 1/3 of the TM sites are occupied by Li phase.
