Flexible aqueous batteries, such as those used in portable electronics, often contain a hydrogel electrolyte containing water and salt. Using a chemical modification inspired by nature, a team of ...

Chinese researchers have made a notable advancement in enhancing the salt stability of hydrogels used in sodium-ion batteries, which are commonly found in flexible aqueous batteries used in portable electronics.

Although lithium-ion batteries are currently the pinnacle of battery technology, as the need for secure and reliable batteries grows, scientists are scrambling to discover what comes next.

Lithium-ion batteries are utilized in a variety of applications, including not only small consumer electronics such as cell phones and laptop computers, but also electric vehicles, electric bicycles, and long-term power storage.

The significantly improved safety and even more interoperable interface characteristics compared to flammable, volatile traditional liquid electrolyte makes solid-state electrolyte (SSE) a promising candidate in next-generation lithium (Li) metal batteries (LMBs) applications.

As a result of lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries’ huge energy capacity, it provides great potential for use in energy storage systems.
