Battery (electricity)

  1. Clustered solvents and anions reduce lithium de-coordination energy
    Study reveals how strong-coordination salts and solvents paradoxically improve low-temperature lithium-metal battery performance through cluster solvate formation and optimized charge distribution.
  2. Steady-state electrical power scales super-linearly in a quantum battery
    Microcavity quantum battery demonstrates superextensive steady-state electrical power generation via strong light-matter coupling under low-intensity illumination.
  3. V2G cycling impact on lithium-ion cell lifetime depends strongly on temperature
    Study quantifies lithium-ion cell degradation from vehicle-to-grid cycling using real-world EV charging data, revealing that shallow V2G cycling at moderate depths maintains cell functionality.
