Improving battery safety by early detection of internal shorting with a bifunctional separator

Dendrite growth in lithium-based batteries is hazardous as it could cause internal shorts and raise safety concerns. Here, the authors design a bifunctional separator in lithium-ion batteries, which serves as a sensing terminal and is able to detect early dendrite growth inside the batteries.

An intermediate temperature garnet-type solid electrolyte-based molten lithium battery for grid energy storage

There is an intensive effort in developing grid-scale energy storage means. Here, the authors present a liquid metal battery with a garnet-type solid electrolyte instead of conventional molten salt electrolytes and report promising electrochemical properties at a modest temperature of 240 °C.

Reactivation of dead sulfide species in lithium polysulfide flow battery for grid scale energy storage

Lithium polysulfide batteries suffer from the precipitation of insoluble and irreversible sulfide species on the surface of carbon and lithium. Here the authors show a reactivation strategy by a reaction with cheap sulfur powder under stirring and heating to recover the cell capacity.
