Many of the devices that make modern life convenient and efficient rely on rechargeable batteries. Lithium-ion batteries, one of the more common types used, are low cost and work at a high operating ...

Over time, batteries break down. Studying this process in-depth with imaging techniques may help us improve the lifespan of batteries. Many of the devices that make modern life convenient and ...

Researchers from Tohoku University have developed a technique to study and identify metal ion dissolution in lithium-ion battery cathodes. Using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), they could ...

Proposed mechanism of Pt dissolution reaction considering the effect of the electrolyte components. In the case of the left figure (Li ions), the diffusion of Pt ions to the offshore (right side in ...

Since their introduction into the commercial market in 1991, lithium (Li) ion batteries have remained one of the most widely used electrochemical power sources for a number of important applications.
