Toyota and colleges discover new electrolytes to improve battery performance

Abstract: Monash University and Toyota North American Institute have discovered a new liquid salt-based electrolyte that can be used in batteries. It is non-volatile, non-flammable and electrochemically stable, eliminating flammability and improving its stability, resulting in high energy. Density battery performance can be improved.


According to reports, Toyota North American Research Institute (TRINA) and Monash University in Australia have discovered a new liquid salt-based electrolyte that can be used in batteries. It is non-volatile, non-flammable and electrochemically stable. The flammability and stability are improved so that the performance of the high energy density battery can be improved. The Toyota North American Institute is located in Ann Arbor, Michigan and is part of the Toyota North American R&D Center (TMNA).

Professor Doug Mac Farlane of the Monash University School of Chemistry said: "We also found that these new electrolytes can be used in rechargeable magnesium metal and lithium metal battery technologies, allowing lithium-ion batteries to use higher voltage materials to enhance battery life. Energy storage capacity."

Rana Mohtadi, principal scientist of the Toyota North American Research Institute, said: "The new material is based on carborane anions and is made of boron clusters. Recent studies have shown that such materials are very stable and can be used in chemicals such as lithium batteries. We hope to use the stability of such ions to make lithium metal and magnesium metal high energy density batteries. In fact, this is the first time that liquid ions can be used in magnesium metal batteries."
