Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a new quasi-solid-state cathode for solid-state lithium metal batteries, with significantly reduced interfacial resistance ...

OAK RIDGE, Tenn. Jan 27, 2015 - Friction impacts motion, hence the need to control friction forces. Currently, this is accomplished by mechanistic means or lubrication, but experiments conducted by ...

A battery electrolyte that is solid at normal temperatures yet still conducts ions could make lithium batteries safer and longer lasting by replacing flammable liquids.

Researchers develop “broad suite of multiscale simulation capabilities to help identify, assess and overcome microstructural impacts on ion transport in solid electrolytes. “ April 4th, 2022 - By: ...

BORDENTOWN, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--It is generally assumed that solid polymer electrolytes have poor ionic conductivity at room temperature. Nuvvon has turned this notion on its head. Third-party ...

Normally, when liquids solidify, their molecules become locked in place, making it much harder for ions to move and leading to a steep decrease in ionic conductivity. Now, scientists from Oxford ...

Though finding the best ionic liquid remains challenging, the idea promises new directions in solid lithium battery development for practical applications. The addition of an ionic liquid to the ...
