Performance-limiting electrochemical reactions in lithium-based batteries
Background
This image was a winner of the 2018 Materials Today competition.
Aims
Our main goal is the development of a significantly improved electrochemical understanding of the performance-limiting effects in lithium-based batteries to enable the realization of lithium-based batteries with significantly improved performances.
Approaches
Keywords
