With potential safety improvements and lower manufacturing costs, Na-ion batteries are coming of age at precisely the right ...

Challenges remain in understanding battery processes that govern operation and limit performance, but fundamental research holds the key for further development of beyond-lithium-ion technologies.

It was with simple triethylammonium nitrate that a pure low-melting salt — an ionic liquid — was first identified more than a century ago. In the 1930s, a patent application described cellulose ...
