Lithium (Li) metal is an ideal anode material for rechargeable batteries due to its extremely
high theoretical specific capacity (3860 mA hg− 1), low density (0.59 g cm− 3) and the lowest …

Commercial lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries based on graphite anodes are meeting their
bottlenecks that are limited energy densities. In order to satisfy the large market demands of …

Molecular bottlebrushes are building blocks for the design of unique polymeric materials
whose physical properties are fundamentally governed by their densely grafted structures …

Over the last 40 years, metallic lithium as an anode material has been of great interest owing
to its high energy density. However, dendritic lithium growth causes serious safety issues …

Ion‐conducting block copolymers (BCPs) have attracted significant interest as conducting
materials in solid‐state lithium batteries. BCP self‐assembly offers promise for designing …

The commercial use of lithium metal batteries was delayed because of dendrite formation on
the surface of the lithium electrode, and the difficulty finding a suitable electrolyte that has …

The reduced chain entanglement of brush polymers over their linear analogs drastically
lowers the energetic barriers to reorganization. In this report, we demonstrate the rapid self …

Energy storage is at present one of the foremost issues society faces. However, material
challenges now serve as bottlenecks in technological progress. Lithium-ion batteries are the …

Solid-state polymer electrolytes and high-concentration liquid electrolytes, such as water-in-
salt electrolytes and ionic liquids, are emerging materials to replace the flammable organic …

We explore the relationship between the morphology and ionic conductivity of block
copolymer electrolytes over a wide range of salt concentrations for the system polystyrene …
