Accelerating demand for renewable energy and electric vehicles is sparking a high demand for the batteries that store generated energy and power engines. But the batteries behind these sustainability ...

A sulfur-based solid electrolyte (SSE) can be prepared for about one-sixth the price of previous materials, paving the way toward safer lithium-ion batteries (ACS Appl. Energy Mater., 2024, DOI: ...

Chemists have learned that an electrolyte additive allows stable high-voltage cycling of nickel-rich layered cathodes. Their work could lead to improvements in the energy density of lithium batteries ...

The Li-ion batteries that power everything from smartphones to electric cars are usually packed in rigid, sealed enclosures that prevent stresses from damaging their components and keep air from ...
