Using a combination of simulation and experimental techniques, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Material Science and Engineering researchers have been able to identify the electric double layer ...

New polymer battery design improves ion flow and conductivity, advancing safer solid state energy storage technology.

Solid-state batteries could be safer and more energy-dense than today’s lithium-ion technology, but finding materials that allow ions to move quickly through solid electrolytes has been difficult.

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The lithium-ion batteries that you find in many of your electronic gadgets, like your smartphone, typically consist of two electrodes connected by a liquid electrolyte. Apart from ...

Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a new quasi-solid-state cathode for solid-state lithium metal batteries, with significantly reduced interfacial resistance ...

Ionic bonds are very strong so the melting point of an ionic compound is high. Ionic compounds do not conduct electricity in the solid state because their ions are unable to move about. However, if an ...

A metal-containing compound that transforms into a solid when exposed to light and returns to liquid form when heated has been developed by researchers. This substance could potentially be used for ...

WOBURN, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ionic Materials today announced it has secured $65 million in a Series C financing round from a leading group of financial and strategic investors. The strategic ...
