MIT researchers have now designed a battery material that could offer a more sustainable way to power electric cars. The new lithium-ion battery includes a cathode based on organic materials, instead of cobalt or nickel (another metal often used in lithium-ion batteries).
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is funding a large research consortium called Battery500 to make lithium metal batteries viable, which would allow car manufacturers to build lighter electric vehicles that can drive much longer distances between charges.
Most electric cars are powered by lithium-ion batteries, a type of battery that is recharged when lithium ions flow from a positively charged electrode, called a cathode, to a negatively electrode, called an anode. In most lithium-ion batteries, the cathode contains cobalt, a metal that offers high stability and energy density.
Second, it is of great importance to replace liquid electrolyte by solid-state electrolyte in lithium batteries design to greatly reduce the mass of electrolyte, to improve the energy density of batteries, and also to enhance the battery safety.
Researchers are working to adapt the standard lithium-ion battery to make safer, smaller, and lighter versions. An MIT-led study describes an approach that can help researchers consider what materials may work best in their solid-state batteries, while also considering how those materials could impact large-scale manufacturing.
A new lithium-based electrolyte invented by Stanford University scientists could pave the way for the next generation of battery-powered electric vehicles.
