Potential of high-voltage lithium metal batteries unlocked
The cycle performance of Li//LNMO cells at 1 C rate. The red line represents the new All-Fluorinated Electrolyte (AFE), which maintains significantly higher capacity and stability over 250 cycles compared to the standard carbonate electrolyte (blue line), enabling...
Calcium ‘key’ to solving stability issues in sodium-ion batteries
By introducing a minuscule amount of calcium into the sodium-ion layer of NFM, a promising cathode material, its stability greatly improved. Credit: Professor Shinichi Komaba from Tokyo University of Science, Japan Image link: https://doi.org/10.1039/D5TA04742K. CC...
Streetlights could be EV charging points
