Emerging type of electrolyte may lead to better lithium batteries

Caption

Emerging electrolytes with a different microstructure to conventional electrolytes may help advance lithium batteries to keep pace with future technologies, according to a review paper from researchers at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Their analysis concluded that better kinetics, reduced solvent polarization, reduced desolvation energy and more inorganic-rich interphases may improve lithium batteries.
