Hollow carbon nanoreactors with sub-nanometer wall pores trap chlorine complexes inside lithium-chlorine battery cathodes, enabling record capacity and current density.

Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have quantified lithium intercalation rates across various battery materials and utilized this information to create a novel model explaining ...

Researchers at U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory have developed a new imaging technique that allows them to observe lithium-ion reactions in real time with nanoscale ...

Highly reactive organometallic reagents, like organolithiums (molecules with a carbon–lithium bond) are essential reagents in organic synthesis because of their applications from polymer synthesis to ...

In chemistry, some problems are so persistent that they are nicknamed “forever.” Perfluoroalkyl and ...

Lithium metal batteries promise dramatically higher energy density than today’s lithium-ion systems, yet their widespread use remains limited by unstable lithium deposition, dendrite growth, and rapid ...

Solid electrolytes are neither volatile nor flammable, unlike the liquid electrolytes used in conventional lithium-ion batteries. Discovery of a new lithium-air battery that can store much more energy ...
