Dispelling a Misconception About Mg-Ion Batteries




Supercomputer Simulations at Berkeley Lab Provide a Path to Better Designs

Lithium (Li)-ion batteries serve us well, powering our laptops, tablets, cell phones and a host of other gadgets and devices. However, for future automotive applications, we will need rechargeable batteries with significant increases in energy density, reductions in cost and improvements in safety. Hence the big push in the battery industry to develop an alternative to the Li-ion technology.
