U.S. Department of Energy and University of Maryland scientists invented new cathode material that could triple energy density of lithium-ion batteries

June 15, 2018

Briefing
  • Higher Density Batteries – Scientists at University of Maryland, U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory, and U.S. Army Research Lab developed new cathode material for high density lithium-ion batteries
  • New Cathode Material – Made new cathode material from modified and engineered form of iron trifluoride (FeF3), comprised of cost-effective and environmentally safe elements
  • More Stable FeF3 – Added cobalt and oxygen atoms to FeF3 nanorods by means of chemical substitution to overcome conversion reaction challenges identified with FeF3
