Sandia testing method yields pathway to better, longer-lasting solid-state batteries

Green Car Congress

The findings are detailed in a paper in American Chemical Society Energy Letters. The contributions from ions, electrons, and interfaces are deconvolved by correlating the CPD profiles with Li-concentration profiles and by comparisons with first-principles-informed modeling.

New halogen conversion-intercalation chemistry enables high-energy density aqueous Li-ion battery

Green Car Congress

A team of researchers led by a group from the University of Maryland has. Combining this cathode with a passivated graphite anode, the team created a 4V-class aqueous Li-ion full cell with an energy density of 460 Wh kg -1 of total composite electrode and about 100% Coulombic efficiency. volts versus Li/Li +. —Yang et al.
