近日,来自厦门大学的白华教授,在国际知名期刊Journal of Materials Chemistry A上发表题为“Low-cost p-benzoquinone-formaldehyde polymer/reduced graphene oxide composite films as a cathode material for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries”的观点文章。该观点文章设计并合成了一种对苯醌-甲醛聚合物,并且与还原氧化石...
Lithium-ion batteries are very popular for energy storage - learn about the several different variations of lithium-ion chemistry.
Lithium-ion batteries have become an integral part of our daily life, powering the cellphones and laptops that have revolutionized the modern society1,2,3. They are now on the verge of transforming the transportation sector with electric cars, buses, and bikes. They are also anticipated to be...
Lithium-ion batteries have transformed society because they are lightweight and rechargeable. They have therefore become ubiquitous in everything from mobile phones, tablets and laptops to electric cars. They could also, in the future, become important in storing the intermittently available energy prod...
The performance of lithium-ion battery is highly dependent on its interfacial chemistry, which is regulated by electrolytes. Conventional electrolyte typically contains polar solvents to dissociate Li salts. Here, we report a novel weakly-solvating electrolyte (WSE) that consists of a pure non-polar...
The three scientists share the prize for their work on thedevelopment of lithium-ion batteries(锂离子电池).Lithium-ion batteries have revolutionized(变革) our lives and are used in e I from mobilephones to laptops and electric vehicles," according to the Nobel committee. “T 2 ttheir work,...
Currently, lithium-ion batteries enjoy prevalence in fields like automotive, consumer electronics and renewable energy because of their merits of high energy density, long cycle life, and low self-discharge rate. However, such types of batteries also come with their own set of challenges in terms...
We introduce the notion of sustainability through discussion of the energy and environmental costs of state-of-the-art lithium-ion batteries, considering elemental abundance, toxicity, synthetic methods and scalability. With the same themes in mind, we also highlight current and future electrochemical ...
great challenge. Yuxi Xu (徐宇曦) and coworkers report a new strategy to directly synthesize a series of few-layer two-dimensional triazine-based polymers (2D-TPs). When used as a polymeric anode for potassium-ion batteries, the 2D-TP displays an extraordinary reversible specific capacity of ...
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. ...
