Lectrolyte Optimization News Today

The initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) of electrode materials is closely related to the energy density of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, some promising electrode materials for next generation LIBs suffer from low ICE, which inevitably hinders their practical application. Among the discovered modified strategies for LIBs, electrolyte optimization has attracted extensive attention due to its facile operation process. Herein, the role of ICE in LIBs is first analyzed. Subsequently, the rece...

Sodium and potassium ions batteries (SIBs, PIBs) as the ideal substitutes for lithium ion batteries (LIBs) applied in large-scale energy storage have attracted wide concerns due to the same work principle of LIBs, rich abundance, and low-cost features. However, the key challenge in the Na+/K+ storage field is the shortage of suitable anode materials because the common anode for LIBs, graphite, cannot effectively accommodate Na+ and K+. Molybdenum chalcogenides as anode materials for SIBs/PIBs ha...
