Anode material invent by researchers to aid ultra-fast charging and ensure lithium battery longevity

Soon, you will be able to charge your battery-powered devices or even electric vehicles at breakneck speed, thanks to the invention of a new anode material by a team of researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology, Gandhinagar (IITGN) and the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST).

According to the team, the new two-dimensional (2D) anode material was developed using nanosheets derived from titanium diboride (TiB2), a material that resembles a multi-stacked sandwich where metal atoms are present in between layers of boron.

“What makes this work especially useful is the fact that the method to synthesise TiB2 nanosheets is inherently scalable. It only requires mixing the TiB2 particles in an aqueous solution of dilute hydrogen peroxide and allowing it to recrystallise. For any nanomaterial to translate into a tangible technology, scalability is the limiting factor.

“Our method to synthesise these TiB2 nanosheets only requires stirring and no sophisticated equipment, making it highly adoptable,” said Kabeer Jasuja, Dr Dinesh O Shah chair associate professor of chemical engineering at the IITGN. The research teams at the IITGN and the JAIST aimed to develop a material for anode that not only enables fast charging of a battery, but also facilitates its long life.

An artificial intelligence model was created to predict bone repair outcomes for fracture treatment methods.

“This transformational research innovation has a rich potential for translation from the laboratory to a real-life application. Currently, graphite and lithium titanate are among the most widely used anode materials in the commercially available lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) that power laptops, mobile phones and electric vehicles. LIBs with graphite anode, which is extremely energy dense, can power an electric vehicle for hundreds of kilometres in one charge cycle,” Jasuja said.

“However, these have their own share of challenges on the safety front as these are prone to fire hazards. Lithium titanate anodes are safer and more preferred alternatives, and these also facilitate fast charging. But these have a lower energy density, which means that these would need more frequent recharging,” he added.

The team also considered that the material should be able to be synthesised in a simple, scalable manner in order to transform existing technology. According to the researchers, this is a promising technology for commercial applications requiring high energy density, high power, long life, and ultra-fast charging. The research team intends to move this work from the lab to a real-world application.

“Nowadays, the requirement for high-rate charge-discharge technology is tremendously increasing in order to enable widespread commercialisation of various kinds of electric vehicles in the future. Our findings can stimulate related research fields to invite more researchers to work on the application of the unique 2D materials. “We hope continuous research will contribute to the convenience of EV users, lesser air pollution on the road, especially in cities, and a less stressful, mobile life, which will enhance the productivity of the society,” said Noriyoshi Matsumi, professor of materials chemistry at the JAIST.
