Breakthrough sun-powered tech pulls lithium from seawater, redefining energy | A membrane-free electrochemical cell separates lithium ions between brine and fresh water using iron-phosphate electrodes.
Researchers have pinpointed where and how lithium ions are stored and released in battery material during charge and discharge cycles. This could increase storage capacity by up to 25% by tapping into 'dormant capacity’
Computer vision’ reveals unprecedented physical and chemical details of how a lithium-ion battery works. It lets researchers extract pixel-by-pixel information from nanoscale X-ray movies of electrode particles absorbing and releasing lithium ions.
