Despite their rapid emergence as the dominant paradigm for electrochemical energy storage, the full promise of lithium-ion batteries is yet to be fully realized, partly because of …
The Li-ion paradigm of battery technology is constrained by the monovalency of the Li ion. A straightforward solution is to transition to multivalent-ion chemistries, where Mg 2+ is the …
The known crystal structures of solids often correspond to the most thermodynamically stable arrangement of atoms. Yet, oftentimes there exist a richly diverse set of alternative …
Vanadium pentoxide has been investigated for multivalent ion battery technologies but the structural characterization of inserted phases is poor, and conflicting reports exist in the …
The invention of rechargeable batteries has dramatically changed our landscapes and lives, underpinning the explosive worldwide growth of consumer electronics, ushering in an …
Substantial improvements in cycle life, rate performance, accessible voltage, and reversible capacity are required to realize the promise of Li-ion batteries in full measure. Here, we have …
The intercalation of alkali ions into layered materials has played an essential role in battery technology since the development of the first lithium-ion electrodes. Coulomb repulsion …
We reported that the incorporation of a conductive polymer into V2O5 materials resulted in an increased interlayer distance of 2.2 nm, favoring K+ ion storage in aqueous electrolyte. In …
The diffusion pathways of Li‐ions as they traverse cathode structures in the course of insertion reactions underpin many questions fundamental to the functionality of Li‐ion …
