Research shows that tailored cathode microstructure significantly boosts sulfur redox kinetics in lithium-sulfur batteries, ...

Lithium-ion batteries are currently the most energy dense batteries we have on the market. Energy density is the amount of energy you're able to store in a given amount of space.

Step inside the laboratory as Chibueze Amanchukwu and his team investigate the chemistry that could lead to better batteries ...

Discovery of a new lithium-air battery that can store much more energy per volume of battery than today’s lithium-ion designs ...

Traditional lithium-ion batteries rely on polymer separators for safety, which are designed to melt or shrink at around 160 ...

Polymer binders play a critical role in ensuring adhesion and mechanical stability in lithium-ion battery electrodes. Here, we systematically explore the architectural influence of poly (vinylidene ...

Rapid growth of mobile and even wearable electronics is in pursuit of high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries. One simple and facile way to achieve this goal is the elimination of nonelectroactive ...

Safety issues including flames, leakage, and explosions of lithium-ion batteries caused by liquid organic electrolyte have been driving individuals to study safer electrolytes. In this work, we ...

Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries have been widely applied in industrial applications. It is desired to predict the health state of batteries to achieve optimal operation and health management. However, ...

These electrolytes are designed to cease Li-ion transport within the battery immediately when a specific temperature threshold (generally 100–120°C) is exceeded, limiting internal temperature rises ...
