Electrolyte is a key material for success in the research and development of next-generation rechargeable batteries. Aluminium rechargeable batteries that use aluminium (Al) metals as anode materials are attractive candidates for next-generation batteries, though they have not been developed yet due to the lack of practically useful electrolytes. Here we present, for the first time, non-corrosi...

Li-Ion rechargeable battery is one of the most-used rechargeable batteries around the industry of the world. The battery is most used in most electronic devices, electrical cars. But the battery separator is one of the mainly problem that limits the service life. If we can find the way to improve the performance of the battery separator, we can highly increase the service life of the Li-Ion bat...

With their superior advantages of high capacity and low percentage of self-discharge, lithium-ion batteries, which are most commonly used as power sources for hand-held electronic ...

The Cover Feature illustrates the formation of core-dual-shell [email protected]2@C anode materials for lithium-ion batteries, which are fabricated through two coating processes. More information can be found in Article by S. Huang et al.

Aprotic rechargeable Li-O2 batteries are currently receiving considerable interest because they can possibly offer significantly higher energy densities than conventional Li-ion batteries. The electrochemical behavior of Li-O2 batteries containing bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonimide lithium salt (LiTFSI)/tetraglyme electrolyte were investigated by galvanostatic cycling and electrochemical impedanc...

All-solid-state batteries with inorganic solid electrolytes (SEs) are recognized as an ultimate goal of rechargeable batteries because of their high safety, versatile geometry, and good cycle life. Compared with thin-film batteries, increasing the reversible capacity of bulk-type all-solid-state batteries using electrode active material particles is difficult because contact areas at solid–soli...

Ion beam modification to effect ion beam mixing without changing morphology was investigated as a means to improve the electrochemical performance of Ge thin film electrodes for rechargeable Li batteries. As a result of a minimum tenfold increase in the strength of adhesion of the Ge film to the current collector (substrate), the ion beam-mixed electrodes exhibited stable specific capacities of...

High-energy batteries need significant cathodes which can simultaneously provide large specific capacities and high discharge plateaus. NASICON-structured Na3V2(PO4)3 (NVP) has been utilised as a promising cathode to meet this requirement and be used in the construction of high energy batteries. For a hybrid-ion battery by employing metallic lithium as an anode, NVP exhibits an initial specific...

Recently emerging potassium ion (K-ion) batteries offer a lower-cost alternative to lithium-ion batteries while enabling comparably high storage capacity. Here, we leverage the strong Raman spectroscopic response of few-layered graphene to provide the first insight into the electrochemical staging sequence for K+ ions in graphitic carbons. Our analysis reveals the signature of a dilute stage I ...
