Boron-based electrolyte system

Automotive

Automotive

A non-corrosive electrolyte system developed by Toyota researchers that could enable next-generation batteries with improved efficiency and faster charging capabilities.

A type of rechargeable battery that uses lithium ions as a key component of its electrochemistry. The new polymer can improve their energy storage and output.

Battery electrolyte system using magnesium instead of lithium, designed to be more stable and safer than lithium-ion batteries while enabling smaller, longer-lasting batteries for electric vehicles.

North America

Research project at Toyota Research Institute of North America to develop next-generation batteries using magnesium-based electrolytes instead of lithium, with a focus on creating a non-corrosive, boron-based electrolyte system.

Research initiative at Toyota Research Institute of North America focused on developing better materials for hydrogen fuel tanks to improve efficiency. This project led to the incidental discovery of magnesium-based electrolyte technology for batteries.
