Can magnetic alignment technology improve the electrochemical performance of Li-ion batteries?

This article is cited by 43 publications. Magnetic alignment technology can be used as a universal approach for constructing vertically aligned structure electrodes which improve the electrochemical performance in Li-ion batteries.

How to improve the power density of lithium-ion batteries?

Low power density limits the prospects of lithium-ion batteries in practical applications. In order to improve the power density, it is very important to optimize the structural alignment of electrode materials.

Why do we need improved lithium batteries?

Improved lithium batteries are in high demand for consumer electronics and electric vehicles. In order to accurately evaluate new materials and components, battery cells need to be fabricated and tested in a controlled environment.

What is a lithium metal battery test protocol?

The idea behind the test protocol is to allow academia and startup companies to present data that would be meaningful to the automotive industry. This would make scientific publications on lithium metal batteries more valuable and help identify unresolved challenges of lithium metal battery technology.

What is a lithium battery?

As both Li-ion and Li-metal batteries utilize Li containing active materials and rely on redox chemistry associated with Li ion, we prefer the term of “lithium batteries” (LBs) to refer to both systems in the following context.

What morphology does lithium metal have after repeated cycles?

From the optical images, the Li metal after cycles was flat and shiny (Fig. S27a). In contrast, the surface of lithium metal with bare Poly (PEGDA)/LiTFSI electrolyte showed black spots, and massive dendrites and pits (Fig. S27b). The p-3DSE film also delivered dense and smooth morphology after repeated cycles (Fig. S28).
