A longer-lasting EV battery could be just around the corner thanks to new research into single-crystal electrode batteries.

Those cracks form when the lithium ions in the battery force the atoms in the electrodes apart and limit how much energy the battery can store. By contrast, the single-crystal electrode contained ...

The new single-crystal electrode battery was compared to a conventional lithium-ion battery, which typically lasts around 2,400 cycles before hitting the 80 percent capacity mark. With the CLS's ...

A key challenge in developing all-solid-state lithium metal batteries (LMBs ... Defects in the crystal structure, such as vacancies, can reduce the energy barriers for lithium-ion migration ...

Compared to samples with C=N linkages, the synthesized single-crystal sp²c-COFs exhibit significantly enhanced electron spin, leading to notable room-temperature, metal-free ferromagnetism of 8.6 ...
