New superionically conductive electrolyte could improve stability of all-solid-state lithium metal batteries
History of research on lithium metal secondary batteries and lithium ion secondary batteries, and predictions for all-solid-state lithium metal batteries. Credit: Li et al. All-solid-state lithium metal batteries (LMBs) are a promising energy storage solution that incorporates a lithium metal negative electrode and a solid electrolyte (SSE), as opposed to the liquid electrolyte found in traditional lithium batteries. Solid-state LMBs…

Researchers have solved a key problem with sodium-ion batteries for electric vehicles and grid energy storage
Artistic rendering of the important discovery that lowering the heating rate during the fabrication of cathodes in sodium-ion batteries eliminates the problem of distortion and cracking in core-shell particles with concentration gradients. Credit: Argonne National Laboratory. Lithium-ion batteries have long dominated the market as the go-to power source for electric vehicles. Consideration is also underway to store renewable energy for…
