In situ polymerization in a covalent organic framework boosts lithium-ion conduction in solid polymer electrolytes, advancing ...

When aiming for stretchable, health-monitoring, skin-like sensor sheets, materials with demanding properties are required: they need to be flexible, biocompatible, and electrically conductive at the ...

Fraunhofer FEP has developed this process for a new type of component for lithium-ion batteries called metal-on-polymer ...

A research team led by Prof. Pan Feng from the School of Advanced Materials, Peking University Shenzhen Graduate School has ...

While this is marked improvement over previous attempts—previous flexible battery iterations only remained stable at 1.23 volts, for example—the energy density is roughly one-tenth that of a ...

The salt also played an additional role: It pulled water from the air. The usual way of getting the “hydro” part into a hydrogel is soaking the crosslinked, hydrophilic polymer in water; it ...

During the first charge cycle, lithium ions deposit on the negative current collector, creating the so-called lithium-metal anode. This approach simplifies manufacturing, reduces costs, and ...

As wearables get smaller, and foldable devices gain popularity, they’re running into a common challenge. Their rigid components—batteries, in particular—limit how compact or flexible they can be.
