The 2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry recognized three scientists who each contributed a key development to the lithium-ion battery. Ubiquitous in the portable devices of the modern world, overcoming the significant chemical challenges of working with lithium was no small feat. Stanley Whittingham ...
Binary metal oxides are attractive anode materials for lithium-ion batteries. Despite sustained effort into nanomaterials synthesis and understanding the initial discharge mechanism, the fundamental chemistry underpinning the charge and subsequent cycles—thus the reversible capacity—remains poorly understood. ...
Can Chemistry Offer a Better Lithium Ion Battery?Umair IrfanClimateWire
Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries can exhibit a voltage decay over time, a complex process that diminishes storable energy and device lifetime. Now, hydrogen transfer from the electrolyte solvent to the metal oxide cathode has been demonstrated as an operative self-discharge mechanism. ...
Mohammad Asadi, assistant professor of chemical engineering at Illinois Institute of Technology, has published a paper in the journal Science describing the chemistry behind his novel lithium-air battery design. The insights ...
This special issue highlights key advances in energy storage, and specifically in lithium-ion batteries, from the leading research teams in celebration of the 2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry awarded for the development of lithium-ion batteries. The battery
Lithium-ion batteries are among the most widespread energy storage devices in our society. In order to introduce these devices in new key applications such
Further, the potential rise of sodium-ion (Na-ion) technology might limit demand for L(M)FP cells. This is especially true if various factors, such as a high lithium market price, make Na-ion less expensive than LFP. OEMs might decide to use Na-ion technology in batteries for ent...
