A new review details how polyoxometalate–metal organic framework hybrids are boosting the performance of batteries, supercapacitors, fuel cells, water electrolyzers and CO2 electrolyzers.
Researchers report a prelithiated polyurethane-LAGP composite electrolyte that reaches high room-temperature ionic conductivity and long cycling stability in laboratory solid-state cells.
A new review in Ionics summarizes how defect engineering, through surface delithiation and bulk vacancy modulation, can improve the air stability of garnet-type LLZO solid electrolytes. Garnet-type LLZO solid electrolytes are widely regarded as key materials for high-energy-density all-solid-state lithium…
An iodine-mediated cross-linking strategy creates starch-derived hard carbon with sub-nanometer ultramicropores and carbonyl-rich surfaces, confining electrolyte solvation to build a NaF-rich interphase and deliver 88.4 percent initial Coulombic efficiency, 352.9 mAh per gram capacity, and stable cycling for sodium-ion
A new charge-aware machine-learning potential allows hundred-nanosecond atomic simulations of sodium electrode interfaces, revealing fundamentally different solid electrolyte interphase formation mechanisms in carbonate and ether electrolytes. Subject of Research: Atomic-scale simulation of solid electrolyte interphase formation and sodium loss at…
In situ resistance microscopy reveals that subtle volume shrinkage of NCM cathode particles breaks their electronic contacts during charging, a mechanical failure mechanism that three-dimensional simulations confirm as a major driver of capacity fading in sulfide all-solid-state batteries across a…
Many government agencies and companies across the globe are working to commercialize solid-state lithium-sulphur battery designs because they provide high energy density, better safety, reduced dependence on rare-earth metals, and long shelf-life by eliminating the shuttle effect. All-solid-state lithium-sulfur batteries…
