TL;DR: Li2O nanoparticles suspended in liquid electrolytes were investigated as a proof of concept in this article , where the role played by Li2O in the liquid electrolyte and solid-electrolyte interphases of the Li anode were elucidated.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantify the calendar ageing of Li metal anodes and report its underlying mechanisms, and show that Li metal loses at least 2-3% of its capacity after only 24 hours of ageing, regardless of the electrolyte chemistry.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an overview of the development of fibrous media for air filtration and highlight the importance of electret filters by reviewing various methods for imparting electrostatic charge on fibrous medium.

TL;DR: In this paper, an ultralight polyimide-based current collector with embedded fire retardants is proposed to improve fire safety and energy efficiency of lithium-ion batteries, which can realize a 16-26% improvement in specific energy and rapidly self-extinguish fires under extreme conditions such as short circuits and thermal runaway.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight the significance of cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to energy related research and the impactful results that can be potentially spawned from there.
