Researchers develop a battery cathode material that does it all

A mix of iron, chlorine, and lithium is conductive, stores lithium, and self-heals.

Battery electrode materials need to do a lot of things well. They need to be conductors to get charges to and from the ions that shuttle between the electrodes. They also need to have an open structure that allows the ions to move around before they reach a site where they can be stored. The storage of lots of ions also causes materials to expand, creating mechanical stresses that can cause the structure of the electrode material to gradually decay.

Because it's hard to get all of these properties from a single material, many electrodes are composite materials, with one chemical used to allow ions into and out of the electrode, another to store them, and possibly a third that provides high conductivity. Unfortunately, this can create new problems, with breakdowns at the interfaces between materials slowly degrading the battery's capacity.

Now, a team of researchers is proposing a material that seemingly does it all. It's reasonably conductive, it allows lithium ions to move around and find storage sites, and it's made of cheap and common elements. Perhaps best of all, it undergoes self-healing, smoothing out damage across charge/discharge cycles.

Reddit CEO pledges site will remain “written by humans and voted on by humans”

Reddit is in an “arms race” to protect its communities from AI-generated content.

Reddit is in an “arms race” to protect its devoted online communities from a surge in artificial intelligence-generated content, with the authenticity of its vast repository of human interaction increasingly valuable in training new AI-powered search tools.

Chief executive Steve Huffman told the Financial Times that Reddit had “20 years of conversation about everything,” leaving the company with a lucrative resource of personal interaction.

This has allowed it to strike multimillion dollar partnerships with Google and OpenAI to train their large language models on its content, as tech companies look for real-world data that can improve their generative AI products.
