Accessing the bottleneck in all-solid state batteries, lithium-ion transport over the solid-electrolyte-electrode interface

Solid-state batteries potentially offer increased lithium-ion battery energy density and safety as required for large-scale production of electrical vehicles. One of the key challenges toward high-performance solid-state batteries is the large impedance posed by the electrode-electrolyte interface. However, direct assessment of the lithium...

Use of Nano Seed Crystals to Control Peroxide Morphology in a Nonaqueous Li-O₂ Battery

The high theoretical energy density of Li-O₂ batteries as required for electrification of transport has pushed Li-O₂ research to the forefront. The poor cyclability of this system due to incomplete Li₂O₂ oxidation is one of the major hurdles to be crossed if it is ever to deliver a high reversible...
