Towards Safer, Higher Performance Batteries Through Network Topology Optimization

Scientists examined the atomic configuration of TiNb2O7, unveiling network topology optimization as key for high-performance lithium-ion batteries

December 9, 2024

Conventional lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), which use carbon-negative electrodes, are prone to catching fire due to the similar operating potentials of carbon and lithium. Recently, Wadsley–Roth phase oxides, like the TiNb₂O₇ (TNO), have received considerable attention as potential alternative negative electrode materials that have higher operating potentials than lithium, reducing the risk of fire. In this study, researchers investigated the atomic configuration and network structure of TNO, unveiling key insights for developing safer, high-performance LIBs.

With rising greenhouse gas emissions, the urgency of addressing global warming and climate … Read More →
