There is a growing demand for energy storage, for intermittent renewable energy such as
solar and wind power, for transportation, and for the myriad portable electronic devices. By …

Rechargeable batteries can effectively store electrical energy as chemical energy, and
release it when needed, providing a good choice for applications in electric vehicles (EVs) …

It is highly attractive to develop efficient methods to directly extract Li from seawater to
secure the supply of Li. However, high concentration of Na in the seawater poses a great …

To meet future needs for industries from personal devices to automobiles, state-of-the-art
rechargeable lithium-ion batteries will require both improved durability and lowered costs …

The lithium–sulfur battery holds a high theoretical energy density, 4–5 times that of today's
lithium-ion batteries, yet its applications have been hindered by poor electronic conductivity …

Lithium-ion batteries have revolutionized portable electronics and will be a key to electrifying
