New aqueous rechargeable lithium battery shows good safety, high reliability, high energy density and low cost; another post Li-ion alternative

Green Car Congress

Although several attempts have been made on the anode materials, the main disadvantages is that their energy density is still much lower than that of conventional lithium ion batteries due to the narrow electrochemical window of water. Here we introduce a coating layer on lithium metal. —Wang et al. —Wang et al.
