In a paper in Nature Materials , the Penn State team reports a molecular-level SEI design using a reactive polymer composite, which effectively suppresses electrolyte consumption in the formation and maintenance of the SEI. The same approach was also applied to design stable SEI layers for sodium and zinc anodes. V Li|LiNi 0.5

But we do actually need that energy to be generated,” says Alper Bozkurt, who with Veena Misra codirects the Center for Advanced Self-Powered Systems of Integrated Sensors and Technologies (ASSIST) at North Carolina State University. But to incorporate many different types of sensors, we need different material designs and tools.
