MANUFACTURING EARTH-ABUNDANT LAYERED NaMnO2-BASED SODIUM-ION CATHODE MATERIALS FOR LOW-COST EV BATTERIES
SBC: HIT NANO INC Topic: C5612aLithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are the industry standard in commercial electric vehicles (EVs) and occupy a large fraction of the overall EV cost. However, LIBs rely on expensive metals like lithium, cobalt, and nickel, resulting in cost (>7x Li price increase over past year) and geopolitical supply chain bottlenecks which impede EV deployment. This project will develop sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) b ...
