Advanced Material Design to Increase Battery Performance

Lithium-ion batteries have fundamentally transformed energy storage, from personal electronics to the ongoing electrification of transportation. Demands for improved safety, battery lifetime and energy density require new battery material choices to be explored: new electrolyte formulations, and novel cathode and anode materials. Research is also exploring paradigm-shifting alternatives to battery materials design such as solid electrolytes and even the replacement of lithium with other, more abundant metals such as sodium, calcium and magnesium.
