Researchers have discovered that vibrations at the electrolyte-electrode interface in solid-state batteries can cause lithium ions to move slowly.

Using computer simulations and X-ray experiments, researchers could “see” in detail why lithium ions move slowly in a solid-state battery—specifically, at the electrolyte-electrode interface. The work could lead to new strategies to enhance ionic conductivity in solid-state batteries.

Stabilizing gassy electrolytes could make ultra-low temperature batteries safer New separator improves battery safety and its performance in the extreme cold Chen group Artistic rendering of a battery separator that condenses gas electrolytes into liquid at a much lower pressure. The new separator improves battery safety and its performance in the extreme cold by keeping more electrolyte, as well as lithium ions, flowing in the battery.

Study Reveals New Insights for Developing Lithium Metal Batteries Written by AZoMFeb 26 2021 Nanoengineers from the University of California, San Diego (UC San Diego) have gained a new fundamental insight for designing lithium metal batteries that work well at very low temperatures; specifically, the weaker the electrolyte binds to lithium ions, the better. Simulated structures of the binding between a lithium-ion and electrolyte molecules. Image Credit: John Holoubek/Nature Energy. The researchers have now used this weakly binding electrolyte and have successfully designed a lithium metal ba...
