Liverpool: Scientists have developed a solid material capable of rapidly transporting lithium ions.
Such lithium electrolytes are important components for rechargeable batteries that power electric vehicles and various electronic devices.
This non-toxic material is made from elements found in abundance in the earth and has the ability to transfer lithium ions faster than current battery technology with the ability to provide better protection and energy capacity. Is.
A team of scientists from the University of Liverpool used a mutational science approach to create the material in the laboratory, determine its crystal structure and demonstrate its functionality inside a battery cell.
The new material is one of the few solid materials capable of rapidly transporting lithium ions, which can be used in place of liquid electrolytes, and can operate in novel ways because of its structure.
The scientists made the discovery using computational and experimental workflows that used artificial intelligence and physics-based data to support chemists’ decisions.
The research, conducted at the University of Liverpool, was published in the journal Science.
