MIT researchers have now designed a battery material that could offer a more sustainable way to power electric cars. The new lithium-ion battery includes a cathode based on organic materials, instead of cobalt or nickel (another metal often used in lithium-ion batteries).
Many electric vehicles are powered by batteries that contain cobalt — a metal that carries high financial, environmental, and social costs. MIT researchers have now designed a battery material that could offer a more sustainable way to power electric cars.
In other words, even when the linked program is not consuming any energy, the battery, nevertheless, loses energy. The outside temperature, the battery’s level of charge, the battery’s design, the charging current, as well as other variables, can all affect how quickly a battery discharges itself [231, 232].
Then there might be improved lithium-ion batteries, maybe using silicon anodes or rocksalt cathodes, for mid-range vehicles, or perhaps solid-state lithium batteries will take over that class. Then there might be LiS or even lithium–air cells for high-end cars — or flying taxis. But there’s a lot of work yet to be done.
These should have more energy and performance, and be manufactured on a sustainable material basis. They should also be safer and more cost-effective and should already consider end-of-life aspects and recycling in the design. Therefore, it is necessary to accelerate the further development of new and improved battery chemistries and cells.
Projections are that more than 60% of all vehicles sold by 2030 will be EVs, and battery technology is instrumental in supporting that growth. Batteries also play a vital role in enhancing power-grid resilience by providing backup power during outages and improving stability in the face of intermittent solar or wind generation.
