The development of aprotic lithium-oxygen (Li-O 2) batteries with ultra-high theoretical specific energies has been severely hindered by sluggish reaction kinetics and undesired parasitic reactions.

Lithium. While it’s not quite “the Spice” of Dune, the silvery, reactive metal is an extraordinarily valuable means for ...

Researchers from Harbin Institute of Technology (Shenzhen) and Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz have created a dual-function catalyst material that tackles two significant limitations in Li-O 2 ...

Forward-looking: Despite being a relatively rare element, lithium is still the king of materials when it comes to rechargeable battery technology. Calcium is 2,500 times more abundant than lithium, ...
