The University of Houston was awarded a $6.8 million cooperative agreement from the Department of Energy Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA-E) under the Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy (CFDA 81.135) program. The project aims to develop lithium- and transition metal-free high-energy fast-charging batteries to enhance U.S. energy supply chain security. Specifically, the University proposes a battery that will match lithium-ion batteries in terms of energy and power densities without using lithium or transition metals in active materials. The proposed "magnesium-organic" batteries would substitute lithium-based anodes with energy-dense and abundant magnesium, and replace transition metal-based cathodes with organic materials obtained from oil refinery and biorefinery industries. This novel battery chemistry aims to provide a greener and domestically available alternative to lithium-ion batteries. The three-year cooperative agreement was awarded on June 27, 2022 to support this research.
