Scientists create cheaper lithium batteries without nickel or cobalt

A team of researchers from McGill University, working alongside experts from the U.S. and South Korea, has developed a new way to make lithium-ion batteries that could make them more affordable, sustainable, and easier to manufacture. The team’s breakthrough, published in Nature Communications, focuses on replacing expensive and hard-to-source metals like nickel and cobalt—commonly used […] The post Scientists create cheaper lithium batteries wi…

McGill scientists develop cleaner, cheaper way to make lithium-ion

A breakthrough in battery chemistry could eliminate the use of cobalt and nickel  A team of McGill University researchers, working with colleagues in the United States and South Korea, has developed a new way to make high-performance lithium-ion battery materials that could help phase out expensive and/or difficult-to-source metals like nickel and cobalt. The team’s breakthrough lies in creating a better method of producing “disordered rock-salt…
