Reversible Halogen Cathodes for High Energy Lithium Batteries
Lithium halides are attractive as conversion cathodes for potentially high energy-density lithium batteries but have not been explored deeply in aprotic electrolytes. In this issue of Joule, Wang, and co-workers describe a set of design principles of the electrode and electrolyte…
A Next-Generation Aqueous Electrolyte
A team of chemists at the University of Maryland has developed a next-generation aqueous electrolyte to reduce reliance on organic lithium-ion batteries. In their paper published in the journal Nature Energy, the group describes their approach to competing with commercial organic…

With Only a Grain of Salt
Highly concentrated electrolytes offer enhanced energy-density for aqueous batteries, but the high salt concentration presents formidable challenges for practical implementation. Now, an electrolyte has been designed that has a substantially reduced salt concentration while still enabling high-performance batteries. Driven by…
