Solvation

  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. Low-temperature lithium-metal batteries improved by hierarchical solvation
    Hierarchical solvating electrolyte enables high-performance lithium-metal batteries at extreme low temperatures through molecular engineering of solvation sheaths and solid electrolyte interphase.
