Layered-Rocksalt Intergrowth Electrode Materials for Next-Generation Li-ion Batteries
Established in 1963, the R&D 100 Awards is the only S&T (science and technology) awards competition that recognizes new commercial products, technologies and materials for their technological significance that are available for sale or license. The R&D 100 Awards have long been a benchmark of excellence for industry sectors as diverse as telecommunications, high-energy physics, software, manufacturing, and biotechnology. This 2021 R&D 100 winner is listed below, along with its respective category.
Category: Mechanical/Materials
Developers: Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
United States
Product Description:A layered-rocksalt intergrown structure that resolves the high capacity and structural stability limitations of layered oxide lithium-ion battery cathodes, enabling improved cycling capacity; structural, air, and thermal stability; ease of manufacturing and processing; and decreased gas release—all while offering innovative opportunities for designs of new intergrown cathode materials.
