Emerging electrolytes with a different microstructure to conventional electrolytes may help advance lithium batteries to keep pace with future technologies, according to a review paper from ...

Dead batteries could soon find a second lease on life thanks to a new chemical injection. One of the problems with lithium-ion batteries is that, over time, they slowly lose their charging efficacy, ...

Researchers discovered a new ion transport mechanism in nanofiltration membranes, offering key insights for improving lithium recovery from magnesium-rich brines. (Nanowerk News) A research team led ...

To do this, they are studying how lithium ions move through the translucent polymer membrane in their rechargeable lithium cells. The flexible membrane lets positively charged lithium ions pass ...

Positively charged lithium-ions pass from the cathode, through the separator, and into the anode where they are stored. When no more ions flow to the anode, the battery is fully charged. Negatively ...
