The Nobel Prize in Chemistry has just been awarded to Stanley Whittingham, Akira Yoshino, and John Goodenough for their ...

Lithium fluoride (LiF) has long been recognised for its ability to host radiation-induced colour centres, which are point defects in the crystal lattice that absorb and emit light when excited. These ...

Fluoride is better known for its positive correlation with improved dental health than with batteries, at least in the eyes of the general public. But there's reason to be hopeful that it could one ...

Iron fluoride cathode materials have emerged as a promising class for next-generation rechargeable batteries, offering high theoretical energy densities and the potential for both lithium-ion and ...

All-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) are promising rechargeable batteries in which conventional liquid electrolytes are replaced ...

Researchers from Nankai University and collaborators in China have achieved a major breakthrough in battery technology. They have developed a fluorinated deep eutectic gel electrolyte (DEGE) that ...

The lifespan of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and the related capacity fade are primarily influenced by the degradation of electrodes due to the deactivation of active materials. Studying this ...

Chemistry researchers are hoping to spark a green battery revolution by showing that iron instead of cobalt and nickel can be used as a cathode material in lithium-ion batteries. A collaboration ...
