Description

As the agency reported it.

University of houston, new competitive agreement, under FOA number DE-FOA-0002459 (open 2021) with project title ''lithium- and transition metal-free high-energy fast-charging batteries'' to enhance the energy supply chain security of the U.S., university of houston herein propose a battery that will match lithium batteries in terms of energy and power densities without using lithium and transition metals in active materials. UH proposed battery will substitute lithium-based anodes with the energy-dense and abundant magnesium, of which metal the U.S. Has virtually unlimited reserve and had been the world's dominant producer. Transition metal-based cathodes will be replaced by organic materials obtained from oil refinery and biorefinery, of both the U.S. Has the largest capacity in the world. The proposed "magnesium-organic" batteries are thus a greener and reliably domestically available alternative to lithium batteries.
