I-Corps: Creating High Performance Electrodes for Li-ion Batteries

锂离子电池在应用方面取得了巨大突破，但对能够提供高容量和功率的先进电池电极的需求继续推动着电池生产商的研发努力。PI和他的团队已经开发出一种低成本、高通量的自组装过程，以在有电场的电极中创建各种组织良好的纳米颗粒结构。在电极制造方面，PI的研究展示了先进的电池电极，具有更高的倍率能力、高能量密度、更长的循环寿命和更低的成本。该项目提出的技术将生产出电动汽车和其他应用所需的高性能电池，这将通过应对全球能源和环境挑战造福社会。将这项技术转化为商业应用不仅将创造新的就业机会并为经济做出贡献，还将提高美国在锂电池制造这一重要领域的竞争力。

Li-ion batteries have enabled tremendous breakthrough in applications but the need for advanced battery electrodes that can deliver high capacity and power continues to drive battery producer R&D efforts. The PI and his team have developed a low-cost, high-throughput self-assembly process to create diverse well-organized nanoparticle structures in the electrodes with electric field. In the fabrication of electrodes, the PI's research has demonstrated advanced battery electrodes with enhanced rate capability, high energy density, long cycling life, and reduced cost.The technique proposed in this project will produce high performance batteries needed by electric vehicle and other applications, which will benefit the society by addressing global energy and environmental challenges. Translating the technique to commercial applications will not only create new jobs and contribute to the economy, but will also increase the US competence in the important area of Li-battery manufacturing.
