Cathode Coating Discovered at Argonne Could Greatly Improve Safety for Lithium-Ion Batteries

published: 2019-06-06 10:02
Protective coating for the battery electrodes constitutes a major aspect of the ongoing efforts to improve the performance of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Recently, a team of scientists at the Argonne National Laboratory in the US has discovered a type of coating that not only deters the adverse chemical reactions between the cathode and the electrolyte but also prevents the cathode from releasing oxygen during the cycling of the battery. ...  more
