An artistic illustration of the integration between two distinct battery cathode structures, rock salt (blue polyhedra) and polyanion olivine (red/yellow polyhedra). A novel hybrid structure is obtained by integrating polyanions (yellow polyhedra) into a rock salt (blue polyhedra) structure.

Disordered Rock Salt Research Results in Battery Breakthrough

MIT research found how a family of integrated rock salt-polyanion cathodes opens door to low-cost, high-energy storage for batteries, which could improve energy efficiency for electric vehicles (EVs).
