Researchers at the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology have improved the performance of silicon anodes in LIBs using a self-healing composite polymer binder for the silicon particles. The composite polymer structure holds the silicon particles together like a net and prevents them from rupturing. —Prof. 2c00278.

In order to enable fast-charging ability in batteries, researchers have attempted to enhance the mass transfer of electrolytes and charge transfer in electrodes, with extensive research carried out on the former compared to the latter. It is an undesired process leading to reduced battery life and limiting fast charge capability.

Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers have developed a thin-film, highly conductive solid-state electrolyte made of a polymer and ceramic-based composite for lithium metal batteries. There are two classes of solid electrolytes, inorganic oxide- or sulfide-based electrolytes and polymer-based electrolytes. Dixit, Andrew S.
