The design and mapping of next generation nano lithium-ion battery cathodes

先进的储能材料对于我们社会的持续经济繁荣至关重要，并且随着交通电气化和可再生能源的发展继续快速增长，将变得更加重要。因此，加速发现和开发先进的储能材料对我们在21世纪的国民经济产出和竞争力至关重要。该合作项目旨在通过结合新型储能材料的计算设计，合成和表征，促进快速材料创新迫切需要的经济引擎的发展。通过将麦吉尔大学的材料建模和纳米级表征专业知识与Hydro-Quebec的电池材料合成专业知识相结合，将促进新的锂离子电池材料的加速发现。通过这种协同方法，我们的目标是以加拿大驱动的发现，开发，制造和部署先进的锂离子电池阴极材料（具有高能量密度和高功率能力），比今天更快，成本更低。

Advanced energy storage materials are essential to the continued economic prosperity of our society, and will become evermore so as transportation electrification and renewable energy development continues to grow at a rapid pace. Accelerated discovery and development in advanced energy storage materials is, therefore, vital to our national economic output and competitiveness in the twenty-first century. This collaborative project aims to foster the development of an urgently needed economic engine for rapid materials innovation through the combined computational design, synthesis, and characterization of novel energy storage materials. The accelerated discovery of new lithium-ion based battery materials will be facilitated by combining the materials modeling and nanoscale characterization expertise at McGill University with the battery material synthesis expertise at Hydro-Quebec. Through this synergistic approach we aim to fuel the Canadian driven discovery, development, manufacturing, and deployment of advanced lithium-ion battery cathode materials (with high energy density and high power capability) more rapidly than is possible today, at a fraction of the cost.
