A new study introduces a simple molecular-engineering strategy that dramatically improves the reversibility of zinc plating ...

AZoM talked to Zewen Zhang, who worked in collaboration with Professor Yi Cui to image the solid-electrolyte interphase in lithium batteries. This novel imaging technique could pave the way for ...

Utilizing lithium metal as the anode in batteries stands out as an intelligent choice due to its superior energy density compared to other materials. Each wedge consists of different constructions of ...

Batteries charge and recharge -- apparently all thanks to a perfect interplay of electrode material and electrolyte. However, for ideal battery function, the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) plays a ...

Researchers are working to enhance battery safety and efficiency by developing solid-state alternatives to lithium-ion batteries. These batteries offer improved energy efficiency and safety, but a ...

Interphase is the period between cell divisions. During this time, chromosomes replicate—each DNA strand unzips into two strands while free-floating bases attach to the unzipped strands. The ...

This study is led by Prof. Ji Qian and Prof. Renjie Chen (Department of Energy and Environmental Materials, School of Materials Science and Engineering, Beijing Institute of Technology). In this work, ...
