MIT released an announcement today highlighting a paper published in Nature on a new technique for analyzing lithium-ion battery materials. By mining data from X-ray images, MIT, Stanford University, and Toyota Research Institute researchers have made significant new discoveries about the reactivity of lithium iron phosphate (LFP), a material used in batteries for electric cars and in other rechargeable batteries. Read the MIT article as well as the Nature publication and get an in-depth look at the significance of this research from Brian Storey, Senior Director of TRI’s Energy and Materials Division and a co-author of the paper.
