Professor Il-Doo Kim explained, "By leveraging both physical and chemical protective functions, we were able to guide reversible reactions between lithium metal and the electrolyte more ...

Researchers have found an environmentally safer way to extract the lithium 6 needed to create fuel for nuclear fusion ...

Current Li-ion batteries struggle with fast charging, low temperatures, and thick electrodes due to challenges in managing ...

Promising advances in nuclear fusion have sparked renewed interest in this technology as a sustainable energy source and ...

Fortunately, the situation improves if one also considers recycling — the low melting point (180 °C) of lithium metal and the very low water solubility of its fluoride, carbonate and phosphate ...

In recent years, researchers have been trying to develop increasingly advanced battery technologies that can be charged ...

LLZO-based solid-state batteries show limited energy density gains and face production challenges; hybrid electrolytes may be ...

A research team has identified a previously unknown degradation mechanism that occurs during the use of lithium-ion batteries ...

Metals react differently. Some are very reactive ... which gives us the word 'plumbing.' Lithium is an example of a very reactive metal. It is so reactive it has to be kept under oil to prevent ...

A recent study evaluating garnet-type solid electrolytes for lithium metal batteries finds that their expected energy density advantages may be overstated. The researchers posited that composite or ...
