Promises and challenges of nanomaterials for lithium-based rechargeable batteries

1 Energy storage is an essential element of the complete landscape of energy processes, closely coupled with energy generation, transmission and usage. Development of lithium-based rechargeable batteries with higher energy density, lower costs and improved safety is highly desirable1–3. Over the past 25 years, lithiumion batteries based on conventional intercalation electrode materials have pla...

Ether-based electrolyte enabled Na/FeS2 rechargeable batteries

Rechargeable Batteries

Purpose: The goal of our battery research is to produce an all solid-state, high performance rechargeable cell. Moving to a liquid-free polymer electrolyte eliminates the need for heavy casing material, thus the energy density is increased significantly. In addition, the absence of solvent additives leads to better thermal and chemical stability, broadening the range of applications for which t...

High power rechargeable batteries

Energy and power density are the key figures of merit for most electrochemical energy storage systems. Considerable efforts worldwide have been made to improve the energy density of rechargeable (secondary) batteries, as this is critical for most applications. As the penetration of batteries into ever more demanding applications has increased, power density, the allowed rate of energy transfer ...
