Disordered rocksalt roadmap aims to boost lithium ion battery energy and cut critical metals
Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Jan 21, 2026
A new scientific review describes how a little understood class of lithium ion battery cathode materials could support safer, higher energy storage while easing dependence on critical metals such as cobalt and nickel.
Researchers synthesized and analyzed recent global advances in cation disordered rocksalt, or DRX, cathode materials, which are emerging as a promising alternative to the lay
