Solid-state batteries could be safer and more energy-dense than today’s lithium-ion technology, but finding materials that allow ions to move quickly through solid electrolytes has been difficult.

Proposed mechanism of Pt dissolution reaction considering the effect of the electrolyte components. In the case of the left figure (Li ions), the diffusion of Pt ions to the offshore (right side in ...

These days, batteries are found in just about every electronic device you could imagine. From phones to lawn mowers to cars, the items that make life in the modern world happen to do so with a battery ...

Ion exchange separates components in a sample depending on their relative ionic strengths and interaction with the stationary phase. The stationary phase is a charged substance that selectively ...

Given the limited supply and high price of battery-grade lithium and other advanced battery materials, alternative battery chemistries are being researched. Some avenues, such as sodium-ion batteries, ...

An E10X sodium-ion-powered microcar in yellow. E10X, a microcar made by the Chinese firm JAC Yiwei, a joint venture between JAC and Volkswagen, is one of the first mass-produced vehicles to be powered ...
