How Oxygen Loss Kills Lithium Ion Battery Voltage
July 28, 2021 | Leave a Comment
Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory scientists took a unique and detailed nanoscale look at how oxygen seeps out of lithium-ion battery electrodes, sapping their energy over time. Measuring the process in unprecedented detail gave them clues to how to minimize the problem and protect battery performance. The results could suggest a fix. When lithium ions […]

Lithium Air Battery Progress Makes Electrolyte Improvement
June 17, 2021 | 1 Comment
Research led by the University of Liverpool, in partnership with Johnson Matthey PLC and Loughborough University has made significant progress in the development of stable and practical electrolytes for lithium-oxygen batteries. The lithium-oxygen (Li-O2) battery (or lithium-air battery), consisting of Li-metal and a porous conductive framework as its electrode’s, releases energy from the reaction of […]
