New emerging chemistries
“Rapid charge and discharge is an increasingly sought-out feature of electrical energy storage devices, but rapid charge and discharge rates lead to dramatic capacity reductions in most rechargeable batteries. We have now demonstrated charge and discharge rates of up to 400C and 1,000C for lithium-ion and nickel-metal hydride chemistries, respectively, with minimal capacity loss (400C is a 9 second charge or discharge and 1,000C is a 3.6 second charge or discharge) using a self-assembled colloidal crystal templated three dimensional (3D) bicontinuous nanoarchitecture consisting of an electrolytically active material sandwiched between rapid ion and electron transport pathways. The final structure also has energy densities comparable to current commercial systems. A full-cell lithium-ion battery constructed from a bicontinuous lithiated MnO2 cathode and a conventional graphite anode was charged to 90% capacity in 2 minutes. I will also cover several new emerging chemistries which utilize the bicontinuous electrode concept, including those with potential for enhanced energy densities over current battery materials.”
