Khalil Amine (born 1962) is a materials scientist at Argonne National Laboratory outside Chicago, Illinois and is an Argonne distinguished fellow[1] and group leader of the Battery Technology group. His research team is focused [2] on the development of advanced battery systems for transportation applications. In addition to his Argonne appointment, he is an adjunct professor at Stanford University[3] and at Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University,[4] Hong Kong University of Science & Technology, King Abdulaziz University, Hanyang University, and Peking University.

Amine has published over 586 peer-reviewed papers[5] in the field and cited nearly 50,000 times. For his contributions, Amine was awarded the Global Energy Prize in 2019, and Scientific American's Top Worldwide 50 Research Leader Award in 2003.[6] In 2017, Amine was chosen as a Fellow [7] of the Electrochemical Society. He is the founder and chairman[8][9] of the Advanced Lithium Battery for Automotive Application (ABAA) global conference.

Early career and education[]

Amine holds[4] a Ph.D. in materials science and a master's degree in chemistry. He received both degrees[4] from the University of Bordeaux in France. After completing his doctorate in 1989, Amine did his postdoctoral studies at Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium. Moving to Japan in the early 1990s,[4] Amine held various positions at Japan Storage Battery Company, the Osaka National Research Institute, and Kyoto University, before moving to Argonne National Laboratory in 1998.

Research[]

Lithium-Ion battery Cathode Materials[]

At Japan Battery Storage in Kyoto, Amine started his work identifying and developing cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries. In 1996, Amine was part of a team at Japan Battery Storage that developed[10] LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4, a cathode often called '5V spinel", one of the most stable high voltage cathode materials reported.

At Argonne National Laboratory in 2005, Amine, Michael M. Thackeray, Jaekook Kim, and Christopher Johnson reported the invention of NMC cathode technology, now widely used in consumer electronics and electric vehicles.[11] NMC technology has been incorporated into multiple batteries types around the world including those that power GM's Chevy Volt and Bolt.[12][13][14][15][16]

In collaboration with Hanyang University, Amine was part of a team that created the full gradient concentration cathode (FCG),[17] an advanced version of the NMC cathode technology with a wide range of formulations and compositions[18] across each particle to increase both energy and stability at high voltage.[17]

In addition to his work on intercalation cathodes, Amine and his team have worked to develop more stable and economically viable Lithium-air energy storage systems. in association with collaborators, they reported [19] a system based on the superoxide anion rather than elemental oxygen.[20] In contrast to more commonly studied open air-based systems, this system relies on a closed oxygen system. Since it does not need access to air (oxygen) a significant simplification of the purification and storage system is envisioned. The system stores energy in the couple going from superoxide (O2−) anion to the peroxide (O2−2) anion. The net reaction is (LiO2 +Li –-> Li2O2).[21]
