very happy to share our new study! here, we demonstrate that the proximity of electrolyte species to a reducing electrode like lithium influences their likelihood of becoming incorporated in the SEI. please read the full paper here: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

Simple methods often provide crucial insights into complex problems. In our new work, we use simple machine learning methods to identify one crucial driver of a complex performance metric, Coulombic Efficiency, in lithium metal batteries. Subsequently, w…lnkd.in/gSkrj5QX

Fast charging is tough for Li metal batteries ("dendrites"), so we asked how does the Li plating mechanism change with slow and fast charging? In @NanoLetters today, we mapped out Li plating mechanisms to help with future design of fast charge solutions. pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021…

Please check our recent paper in Nature Energy. We show a series of new electrolyte solvent molecules (some w/o CAS number) which exhibited high Li metal battery performance. Thanks the supervision from Profs. ⁦@zhenanbao⁩ @yicuistanford⁩ Jian Qin nature.com/articles/s41560-0…

Cool paper from @mun_sek Kim. He shows that solid additives can further improve the efficiency of the best electrolytes available. Getting closer to 99.9x% efficiency nature.com/articles/s41563-0…

Our new paper from @yicuistanford lab on calendar aging of Lithium metal is out @NatureEnergyJnl! We study Li metal batteries when they're not in-use (for ex: cell-phone turned off) and give some insight into the chemical stability of unique electrolytes nature.com/articles/s41560-0…
