A group of researchers recently published a paper in the journal Carbon Energy that investigated the feasibility of using isosorbide dinitrate (ISDN) in place of lithium nitrate to manufacture stable lithium metal batteries with superior lifespans for practical applications.
Researchers in China have developed a high-voltage-resistant (HV electrolyte) for use in ultrahigh-voltage lithium metal batteries. As reported in an open-access paper in the RSC journal Energy & Environmental Science, Li||LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 (NCM811) cells, which can work in a wide operating temperature range from −30 to 70 °C, have capacity retentions.
