Researchers discover new approach to stabilize high-nickel cathode materials; valence gradient
High-nickel-content cathodes offer high capacity, a chemical property that could power electric vehicles over much longer distances than current batteries support. Unfortunately, the high nickel content also causes these cathode materials to degrade more quickly, creating cracks and stability issues as the battery cycles. In search of solutions to these...

Scientists discover new approach to stabilize cathode materials
Credit: Brookhaven National Laboratory UPTON, NY--A team of researchers led by chemists at the U.S. Department of Energys (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory has studied an elusive property in cathode materials, called a valence gradient, to understand its effect on battery performance. The findings, published in Nature Communications, demonstrated that the valence gradient can serve as a new approach for stabilizing the structure of high-nickel-content cathodes against degradation and safety...
