Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory<\/strong> have found an alternative to improve the performance of lithium-ion batteries: manganese<\/strong> . This abundant and inexpensive metal could replace nickel and cobalt, minerals in high demand and value, with “manganese cathodes” integrated into batteries. <\/p>\n\n

The use of manganese cathodes in lithium batteries<\/h2>\n\n

The study published in Nature Nanotechnology<\/a><\/strong> shows that manganese can be used in new disordered rock salt ( DRX<\/em> ) cathodes, a type of material that improves energy storage and distribution. Unlike previous studies, this new process allows \u201c manganese particles in the cathodes to perform better at a larger size than expected<\/em> ,\u201d thus improving efficiency without consuming too much energy in their production. <\/p>\n\n

According to Berkeley Lab<\/strong> researcher Han-Ming Hau, using manganese would reduce costs and require less energy and time to produce than other elements currently used in commercial batteries<\/a><\/strong> . In addition, the synthesis process developed by the team allows the fabrication of cathodes in just two days, much faster than current methods. <\/p>\n\n

Furthermore, manganese has demonstrated an impressive ability to form the internal structure of cathodes, creating a semi-ordered nanostructure<\/strong> that improves the electrochemical performance of the battery. This means that manganese-based lithium-ion batteries could store much more energy, which would be very favorable in applications such as electric vehicles and energy storage systems. <\/p>\n\n

Support for this research came from several institutions, including the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science<\/strong> , and uses advanced techniques such as electron microscopy and X-rays to study the behavior of manganese in lithium batteries.<\/p>\n\n
