'Double-duty' electrolyte enables new chemistry for longer-lived batteries
Oak Ridge TN (SPX) Apr 28, 2014 - Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a new and unconventional battery chemistry aimed at producing batteries that last longer than previously thought possible. In a study published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, ORNL researchers challenged a long-held assumption that a battery's three main components - the positive cathod ... more
