Weird Reality

A team of chemists at the University of Maryland has developed a next-generation aqueous electrolyte to reduce reliance on organic lithium-ion batteries. In their paper published in the journal Nature Energy, the group describes their approach to competing with commercial organic electrolytes. They demonstrate that LIB pouch cells can be made using aqueous electrolytes that have salt concentrations below 5 m. John Brown and Alexis Grimaud, with Collège de France and Electrochimique de l'Energie,...
