Lithium ions form unexpected clusters in battery electrolytes, challenging long-held assumptions
Research by Columbia University faculty in the Arts and Sciences and the School of Engineering and Applied Science has revealed a new insight that challenges long-held assumptions about the fundamental chemistry of lithium-ion batteries.
Researchers at Columbia University (USA) found that lithium ions in battery electrolytes often combine into clusters without anions.
Surprise in the battery: Positively charged lithium ions do not seem to remain as isolated in the electrolyte as long assumed. Simulations and complementary measurements suggest that they join together into groups that are stabilized by solvent molecules. These associations could play an important role in the formation of the protective boundary layer at the anode. New York (U.S.A.). When a lithium-ion battery [...] The article Lithium ions form…
