New Design Could Enable Longer Lasting, More Powerful LithiuNew Design Could Enable Longer Lasting, More Powerful Lithium-Ion Batteries -- By David L. Chandler, Massachusetts Institute of Technologyon -- Mar 26, 2021 -- Excerpt: Use of a novel electrolyte could allow ADVANCED METAL ELECTRODES and higher voltages, boosting capacity and cycle life. Lithium-ion batteries have made possible the lightweight electronic devices whose portability we now take for granted, as well as the rapid expansion of electric vehicle production. But researchers around the world are continuing to push limits to achieve ever-greater energy densities the amount of energy that can be stored in a given mass of material in order to improve the performance of existing devices and potentially enable new applications such as long-range drones and robots. --
