High-Capacity Dual-Electrolyte Aluminum–Air Battery with Circulating Methanol Anolyte

High Efficiency Electrolyte Lithium Battery and RF Characterization

The dielectric properties and ionic conductivity of novel "ceramic state" polymer electrolytes for high capacity lithium battery are characterized by Radio frequency and Microwave methods in two broad frequency ranges from 50 Hz to 20 KHz and 4 GHz to 40 GHz. This innovative solid polymer electrolyte which is highly ionic conductive (10 S/cm at room temperature) from -40C to +150C can be used i...

Supporting Information High-performance sodium battery with 9,10-anthraquinone/CMK-3 cathode and ether-based electrolyte

Enhancing electrochemical intermediate solvation through electrolyte anion selection to increase nonaqueous Li-O2 battery capacity.

Among the "beyond Li-ion" battery chemistries, nonaqueous Li-O2 batteries have the highest theoretical specific energy and, as a result, have attracted significant research attention over the past decade. A critical scientific challenge facing nonaqueous Li-O2 batteries is the electronically insulating nature of the primary discharge product, lithium peroxide, which passivates the battery catho...

Block Copolymer Solid Battery Electrolyte with High Li-Ion Transference Number

The electrochemical properties of a solid polymer electrolyte consisting of a diblock copolymer and lithium bis oxalato borate, LiBC4O8 LiBOB salt, is reported. The spherical microphase-separated diblock copolymer is composed of a majority poly ethylene oxide PEO block and a minority random copolymer block of methyl methacrylate MMA and lithium salt of methacrylic acid MAALi , PEO-bPMMA-ran-PMA...

A Rechargeable Al/S Battery with an Ionic-Liquid Electrolyte.

Aluminum metal is a promising anode material for next generation rechargeable batteries owing to its abundance, potentially dendrite-free deposition, and high capacity. The rechargeable aluminum/sulfur (Al/S) battery is of great interest owing to its high energy density (1340 Wh kg(-1) ) and low cost. However, Al/S chemistry suffers poor reversibility owing to the difficulty of oxidizing AlSx ....
