New Research Paves The Way For Safer, Cheaper Lithium-Ion Batteries

Tohoku University research has resulted in a hybrid electrolyte that is both more stable while also retaining excellent conductivity. This should provide a safer polymeric solid electrolyte for Li-ion batteries with a myriad of applications. The research group’s paper, “Increasing the ionic conductivity and lithium-ion transport of photo-cross-linked polymer with hexagonal arranged porous film hybrids,” has been published in the free access journal iScience. Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are one of the most used batteries that…
