Among the promising experimental battery architectures scientists are exploring is one that uses pure lithium metal for the anode, rather than the mix of materials used in today's lithium-ion devices.

Contrasting solvation strategies in conventional electrolytes (top-left) and a new class of Lewis-acidic polymer electrolytes (bottom-left). Strong lithium ion coordination and weak anion coordination ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

IT is well known that the behaviour of strong electrolytes is very difficult to reconcile with the usually accepted theory of ionisation, in that the change of the degree of ionisation with the ...
