Berkeley Lab article highlights research on manganese cathodes

The latest Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) article, written by Lauren Biron, features novel research on Mn-rich cathodes led by Hanming Hau and Tara Mishra from the Ceder group, which could accelerate the commercialization of DRX cathode materials. This work, a collaboration between researchers at UC Berkeley, LBNL, Brookhaven National Laboratory, and Argonne National Laboratory, was recently published in Nature Nanotechnology on September 19, 2024. Manganese, an abundant and cost-effective alternative to nickel and cobalt, offers promise for creating more sustainable and affordable batteries.
