Development of a strategy for reducing electrolyte-electrode interface resistance, which limits the commercialization of all-solid-state batteries; new material design strategy to increase performance by improving the cathode material.
The zinc- and manganese-based alloy further opens the door to replacing solvents commonly used in battery electrolytes with something much safer and inexpensive, as well as abundant: seawater.
Researchers have proposed a new method for synthesizing high-quality graphene nanoribbons, offering a higher yield at a lower cost, compared with the currently used nanoribbon self-assembly on noble metal substrates.
