ALKALI METAL BATTERIES

Multifunctional interphase

Nature Energy volume 3, pages 253–254 (2018)Cite this article

Subjects

Realization of rechargeable batteries with alkali metal anodes is challenged by their high reactivity and dendritic growth. Now, an alloy-based, artificial solid electrolyte interphase is shown to allow smooth metal deposition, enhance interfacial charge transfer, protect against parasitic reactions and offer extra energy storage.
