Innovations in manganese-based lithium-ion batteries could lead to more efficient and durable power sources for electric vehicles, offering high energy density and stable performance without voltage decay. Researchers have developed a sustainable lithium-ion battery using manganese, which could revolutionize the electric vehicle industry.
New research led by the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) opens up a potential low-cost, safe alternative in manganese, the fifth most abundant metal in the Earth’s crust. Researchers showed that manganese can be effectively used in emerging cathode materials called disordered rock salts, or DRX.
Aqueous manganese (Mn)-based batteries are promising candidates for grid-scale energy storage due to their low-cost, high reversibility, and intrinsic safety. However, their further development is impeded by controversial reaction mechanisms and low energy density with unsatisfactory cycling stability.
The incorporation of manganese contributes to the thermal stability of NMC batteries, reducing the risk of overheating during charging and discharging. NMC chemistry allows for variations in the nickel, manganese, and cobalt ratios, providing flexibility to tailor battery characteristics based on specific application requirements.
Additionally, tunnel structures offer excellent rate capability and stability. Manganese is emerging as a promising metal for affordable and sustainable battery production, and manufacturers like Tesla and Volkswagen are exploring manganese-rich cathodes to reduce costs and improve scalability.
