Description

 

Li-rich antiperovskite cathodes are considered environmentally friendly, low-cost and non-toxic alternatives for Li-ion battery applications. In contrast to current commercial cathodes, Li-rich antiperovskites exhibit reversible multi-electron functionality resulting in batteries with high energy density. This project focuses on fundamental investigations to provide insight into the relationship between structure and electrochemical properties of the materials. Both project partners combine their respective expertise in materials development and electrochemical characterization to realize cathodes with high practical capacity and long cycling life for high performance applications.
