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).
Most electric cars are powered by lithium-ion batteries, a type of battery that is recharged when lithium ions flow from a positively charged electrode, called a cathode, to a negatively electrode, called an anode. In most lithium-ion batteries, the cathode contains cobalt, a metal that offers high stability and energy density.
The majority of electric vehicles are powered by a lithium-ion battery pack, the same type of battery that powers common electronic devices like laptop computers and cellphones. However, the units powering EVs are massive and usually span the area of the vehicle's floor between the front and rear wheels.
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.
Battery electric cars are becoming more and more attractive with the higher oil prices and the advancement of new battery technology (lithium-ion) that have higher power and energy density (i.e., greater possible acceleration and more range with fewer batteries). Compared to older battery types such as lead-acid batteries.
Electric vehicles have been on the market for over a decade, but for most car shoppers it’s still a new and unfamiliar technology, and that goes double for the battery packs that power them.
