Boron-based electrolyte system

Automotive

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.

A non-corrosive electrolyte system for next-generation batteries that could enable smaller, longer-lasting, and faster-charging electric vehicle batteries. The system uses magnesium-based electrolytes instead of lithium.
