LITHIUM-METAL COMPATIBLE SOLID ELECTROLYTES FOR ALL-SOLID-STATE BATTERY (iEdison No. 0685901-21-0135)
The objective of this invention is to develop an advanced sulfide-based solid electrolyte for lithium metal batteries. The developed solid electrolyte is capable of high performance in a lithium metal battery by providing a superior lithium-ion conductivity ( > 4 mS/cm), ultra-low areal resistances ( < 5 ?cm 2 ) at room temperature and

Researchers at PNNL have developed a software tool that helps universities, small business, and corporate developers to design better batteries with new materials that hold more energy.
All-vanadium sulfate acid redox flow battery system
All-vanadium sulfate redox flow battery systems have a catholyte and an anolyte comprising an aqueous supporting solution including chloride ions and phosphate ions. The aqueous supporting solution stabilizes and increases the solubility of vanadium species in the electrolyte, allowing an increased vanadium concentration over a desired operating temperature range. According to one example, the chloride ions are provided by MgCl2, and the phosphate ions are provided by (NH4)2HPO4.
