Lithium batteries contain toxic and hazardous chemicals like lead, nickel, graphite and copper. A research team in July studying water in Emerald Bay found that Lake Tahoe’s lead levels ...

The researchers report a trace water concentration (ca. 36 millimolar) and a lithium perchlorate concentration (0.8 molar) that results in a Faradaic efficiency of ca. 28% at atmospheric pressure.

Lithium-ion batteries are currently the gold standard of battery technology, but as the demand for safe and effective batteries increases, researchers are racing to find what's next. All-solid ...

All fluorine-free lithium-ion batteries with high-rate capability. Chemical Engineering Journal, 2024; 497: 154790 DOI: 10.1016/j.cej.2024.154790 ...

They created a lithium perchlorate (LiClO 4, LC)-based electrolyte to replace fluorinated LP electrolytes along with a non-fluorinated aromatic polyamide (APA) binder using Hansol Chemical’s ...
