Research on electrodes for energy storage batteries

Can optimized electrode structures improve battery production?

We envision a future where optimized electrode structures could enable universal electrolyte formulations compatible with diverse electrode materials and chemistries. This could simplify battery production and enhance system versatility.

Are organic electrode materials suitable for rechargeable batteries?

However, the rapid increase in their annual production raises concerns about limited mineral reserves and related environmental issues. Therefore, organic electrode materials (OEMs) for rechargeable batteries have once again come into the focus of researchers because of their design flexibility, sustainability, and environmental compatibility.

Why do we need new electrode materials for lithium ion batteries?

New electrode materials are required to allow for faster lithium-ion movement within the battery for improved charging speeds. The development of electrode materials with improved structural stability and resilience to lithium-ion insertion/extraction is necessary for long-lasting batteries.

Why do EV batteries need a new electrode?

The rate at which a battery can be charged and discharged (rate capability) is crucial in EVs and fast-charging applications. New electrode materials are required to allow for faster lithium-ion movement within the battery for improved charging speeds.

How to improve the energy density of lithium-ion batteries?

A lot of research in recent years has been done on cell design and electrode structuring concerning the improvement of battery life, energy, and power density. Increasing the areal capacity of electrodes is the major approach to enhance the energy density of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs).

Why do we need new electrode materials for lithium ion insertion/extraction?

The development of electrode materials with improved structural stability and resilience to lithium-ion insertion/extraction is necessary for long-lasting batteries. Therefore, new electrode materials with enhanced thermal stability and electrolyte compatibility are required to mitigate these risks.
