Rational Design of Electrodes and Electrolytes for Lithium and Zinc Batteries

主讲人 : Shuhui Sun

The lithium  l anode is known as the “Holy Grail” electrode for its extremely high theoretical capacity (10 times higher vs. graphite anode in Li-ion battery). However, the formation of “dendrites” is one of the major challenges hindering the commercialization of lithium- l batteries. In this talk, I will present our effective electrolyte additive strategies for preventing dendrite growth during battery use. Our strategy is simple and low-cost, and more importantly, compatible with the existing battery production process, and therefore holds great potential for commercialization. I will also introduce our work on developing highly efficient bifunctional oxygen catalysts for rechargeable  l-air batteries, and flexible solid-state rechargeable  l-air batteries.
