Silicon has been intensively studied as an anode material for lithium‐ion batteries (LIB) because of its exceptionally high specific capacity. However, silicon‐based anode materials usually suffer from large volume change during the charge and discharge process, leading to subsequent pulverization of silicon, loss of electric contact, and continuous side reactions. These transformations cause poor...
Through intense effort in recent years, knowledge of Na‐ion batteries has been advanced significantly, pertaining to electrodes. Often, such progress has been accompanied by using a convenient choice of electrolyte or binder. Nevertheless, it has been witnessed that “external” factors to electrodes, such as electrolytes, solid electrolyte interphase, and binders, affect the functions of electrodes...
A water‐dissolvable electrolyte is developed by combining an ionic liquid (IL) with poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), which decays over time by contact with water. An IL generally consists of two species of ions (anion and cation), and forms an electrical double layer (EDL) of a large electrostatic capacitance due to the ions accumulated in the vicinity of a conductive electrode when voltage is applied....
In article number 1800937, Shunsuke Yamada and Hiroshi Toshiyoshi develop a water‐dissolvable electrolyte by combining ionic liquid with polyvinyl alcohol, which decays in time through contact with water. The test measurement shows a capacitance of 13 μF cm−2 and electrical conductance of 20 μS cm−1. The potential application includes disposable electronics such as distributed sensors and energy harvesters...
The century‐old zinc–air (Zn–air) battery concept has been revived in the last decade due to its high theoretical energy density, environmental‐friendliness, affordability, and safety. Particularly, electrically rechargeable Zn–air battery technologies are of great importance for bulk applications like electric vehicles, grid management, and portable electronic devices. Nevertheless, Zn–air batteries...
