A compound called lithium iodide (LiI) has been considered a leading material for lithium-air batteries, which could deliver more energy per pound compared to today's leading batteries. A new study ...

During battery (dis)charging, lithium (de)intercalation in electrodes is usually spatially non-uniform across multiple length scales. Such phenomenon is a major impediment to battery performance and ...

An efficient lithium-oxygen (Li-O2) battery that can be recharged more than 2,000 times could make truly long-distance electric cars possible for the first time. Chemical engineers at the University ...

Researchers agree that one of the most promising possibilities for future battery technology is the lithium-air (or lithium-oxygen) battery, which could provide three times as much power for a given ...

A group of researchers headed by Zhong-Shuai Wu from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics of CAS, working with Xiangkun Ma from the Dalian Maritime University, has suggested adding a new imidazole ...
