Lithium-metal batteries (LMBs) are widely regarded as the next generation of energy storage devices because of their high anode specific energy density of 3,860 Ah kg −1 (refs. 1,2). One of the main ...

The interfacial dynamics in high-potential lithium batteries with polymer electrolytes have been challenging to characterize. Now, X-ray synchrotron analyses reveal that the rearrangement of ...

A team at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee has built a polymer electrolyte that moves lithium ions through solid material up to 10 billion times faster than the polymer matrix around them, a ...

New large-format prismatic cell introduces higher-density cathode chemistry and self-extinguishing electrolyte, purpose-built for environments where lithium-ion batteries cannot go. PolyJoule, Inc., a ...
