A consortium of the nation’s best battery scientists will accelerate the commercialization of a new family of battery cathode materials called DRX or “disordered rock salt” DRX cathodes could provide batteries with higher energy density than conventional lithium-ion battery cathodes made of nickel and cobalt.
The U.S. Department of Energy has made it a priority to reduce or eliminate the use of cobalt in batteries.
DRX lithium-ion battery could play a key part in decarbonizing transportation.
Transportation sector one of the biggest emitters of greenhouse gases in the world makes up half of California ’s greenhouse gas emissions, a third of U.S. emissions, and a fifth of global emissions.
DRX is a promising technology that could provide reliable yet inexpensive and abundant energy storage.
