Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) have attracted much attention as ion-conductive soft materials because of their safety (nonflammable and no leakage), flexibility and light weight. 1, 2 SPEs are ...

Batteries power almost everything today, from smartphones to electric cars. But the current batteries come with a hidden cost: harmful fluorinated compounds. The rising emphasis on environmental ...

Researchers have advanced lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries with innovative electrolyte additives to solve key challenges associated with them. Li-S batteries face challenges like poor electrolyte ...

Many of these new electrolytes display remarkably high conductivity at room temperature and below (−20 °C). Thus at 25 °C, succinonitrile–5-mol%NH 4 TFSI (≈ 0.55 M) showed a conductivity of 3.16 mS cm ...

Researchers from the US Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory are moving closer to solving the lower ...
