Selective separation could help alleviate critical metals shortage

Pictured are rare earth oxides of neodymium, praseodymium, and dysprosium – all critical components for magnets – that have been processed with sulfidation technology. The violet regions are neodymium-rich sulfide, the green regions are praseodymium oxysulfide, and the orange regions are dysprosium rich sulfides and oxysulfides.

An energy-storage solution that flows like soft-serve ice cream

MIT Energy Initiative

MIT researchers have developed a novel semi-solid flow battery that uses a mixture containing dispersed manganese dioxide particles, along with an electrically conductive additive called carbon black, that enables efficient electrochemical energy conversion when reacted with a zinc suspension or plate.

PostNovember 22, 2021

The reasons behind lithium-ion batteries’ rapid cost decline

MIT researchers find the biggest factor in the dramatic cost decline for lithium-ion batteries in recent decades was research and development, particularly in chemistry and materials science.

MIT Energy Night 2021: Connecting global innovators to local talent

MIT Concrete Sustainability Hub

While the MIT Energy Night virtual session explored commercialization, the poster session presented early-stage innovation. It featured more than 70 posters by scientists, startups, and engineers from across the MIT community and far beyond.

Making catalytic surfaces more active to help decarbonize fuels and chemica...

This diagram illustrates the new process for enhancing reaction rates in an electrocatalytic process. The catalyst layer, made of gold or platinum, is shown as gray spheres at the bottom, and the material to be catalyzed is shown as the rad spheres at the top. Adding a layer of ionic liquid in between, shown as the hexagonal lattices, can increase reaction rates by fivefold. At left, a detail of how oxygen (red) and hydrogen (green) can combine to form water at an enhanced rate through this process.

Making the case for hydrogen in a zero-carbon economy

MIT Energy Initiative

MIT researchers find that hydrogen-fired power generation can be a more cost-effective alternative to lithium-ion batteries for peaking operations on a power grid.

PostAugust 16, 2021

Energy storage from a chemistry perspective

PolyJoule is a Massachusetts-based startup co-founded by MIT professors Ian Hunter and Tim Swager, that’s looking to reinvent energy storage from a chemistry perspective.

Designing better batteries for electric vehicles

MIT Energy Initiative

Solid-state batteries now being developed could be key to achieving the widespread adoption of electric vehicles — potentially a major step toward a carbon-free transportation sector. A team of researchers from MIT and the University of California at Berkeley has demonstrated the importance of keeping future low-cost, large-scale manufacturing in mind when exploring novel battery concepts.
