Abstract Lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs), in which lithium ions function as charge carriers, are
considered the most competitive energy storage devices due to their high energy and power …

Electrochemical energy storage devices are becoming increasingly important to our global
society, and polymer materials are key components of these devices. As the demand for …

Electrolytes play pivotal roles in the stabilization of Li metal surface and operation at high
voltages. In particular, localized high-concentration electrolytes have outperformed state-of …

We demonstrate herein that not only internal short circuiting, but also chemical crossover, is
the mechanism behind thermal runaway that can occur in lithium-ion batteries due to abuse …

As an indispensable part of the lithium-ion battery (LIB), a binder takes a small share of less
than 3%(by weight) in the cell; however, it plays multiple roles. The binder is decisive in the …

Great attention has been given to high‐performance and inexpensive lithium‐ion batteries
(LIBs) in response to the ever‐increasing demand for the explosive growth of electric …

Nickel‐rich layered lithium transition metal oxides (LiNi1− x− yCoxMnyO2 and LiNi1− x−
yCoxAlyO2, x+ y≤ 0.2) are the most attractive cathode materials for the next generation …

The electrochemical kinetics of battery electrodes at the single-particle scale are measured
as a function of state-of-charge, and interpreted with the aid of concurrent transmission X-ray …

Solid‐state batteries enabled by solid‐state polymer electrolytes (SPEs) are under active
consideration for their promise as cost‐effective platforms that simultaneously support high …

Advanced surface engineering of nickel-rich cathode materials greatly enhances their
structural/thermal stability. However, their application into lithium-ion full-cells still faces …
