from chemistry to pack
Author: Professor Yijin Liu One of the slowest steps in battery manufacturing is electrolyte wetting. After you inject the liquid, you normally have to wait tens of hours for it to soak into the porous structure. Not exactly the most efficient process. But here’s the funny part—when we wash dishes, we never wait for water … Read more
At the 2025 International Battery Seminar & Exhibit in Orlando FL (USA), Prof. Jeff Dahn (Dalhousie University) highlighted how Si-carbon composite active materials prepared through monosilane deposition on carbon matrices exhibit very promising cycling stability. Prof. Dahn emphasized that the quantity of liquid electrolyte has to be very carefully controlled in such high-energy cells to … Read more
What are the electrolyte fill requirements for a cell versus chemistry, capacity, format, lifetime and other parameters? The electrolyte is the medium that allows ionic transport between the electrodes during charging and discharging of a cell. Electrolytes in lithium ion batteries may either be a liquid, gel or a solid. Lithium batteries use non-aqueous electrolytes … Read more
