An international team of collaborators has made the first direct observation of the anionic redox reaction in a lithium-rich battery material. The research opens up pathways for improving existing ...

Dual-salt regulated interfacial evolution at cathode and anode in lithium metal batteries. This schematic illustrates the dual-salt (LiDFOB + LiPF₆) regulated interfacial evolution in lithium metal ...

As lithium-ion batteries have become a ubiquitous part of our lives through their use in consumer electronics, automobiles and electricity storage facilities, researchers have been working to improve ...

Next-generation Li-ion batteries must combine high energy density with long cycle life. Thin, conformal coatings on cathode and anode materials can enhance capacity retention and stability by acting ...

A way of tracing the origin of lithium could help hold battery producers accountable and ensure that they only use ethical sources for the metal, which is becoming increasingly vital to the global ...

Batteries have come a long way since Volta first stacked copper and zinc discs together 200 years ago. While the technology has continued to evolve from lead-acid to lithium-ion, many challenges still ...
