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.

—lead author Jingxu (Kent) Zheng, currently a postdoc at MIT. Among the advantages of aluminum is that it is abundant in the earth’s crust, it is trivalent and light, and it therefore has a high capacity to store more energy than many other metals. So if we have a longer service life, then this cost will be further reduced.
