Awards

2021 R&D 100 Award: Layered-Rocksalt Intergrowth Electrode Materials for Next-Generation Li-ion Batteries -  November 29th 2021

A team led by Wei Tong of the Applied Energy Materials Group in the Energy Storage and Distributed Resources Division is one of three Berkeley Lab winners of an R&D 100 Award for 2021.

The team developed a unique layered-rocksalt intergrown cathode material for a new generation of lithium-ion batteries that offers higher capacity, faster charging time, superior cycling, thermal stability, and significantly lower raw material production cost. Layered describes how the atoms are arranged in the crystal structure of the material; specifically, to the layering between the lithium and the transition metal.

The team also included Ning Li, Meiling Sun, Jing Xu, and Wanli Yang of the Advanced Light Source.
