Elucidation of Enhanced Lithium Conductivity in Nanoporous Ionogel Using Solid State NMR

Nanostructured solid composite electrolyte or nano-SCE, which is composed of an ionic liquid, nanoporous silica, and residuals of immobilized precursor components, shows promising synergistic properties. The ionic conductivity of nano-SCE is in the range of 2–5 mS cm⁻¹, which exceeds the bulk ionic liquid conductivity at ambient...

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...
