Exciting advancements! 🌟 Reducing onset temperatures and enhancing battery life are key to safer, more efficient energy solutions. Can't wait to see how this research unfolds! 🔋✨
Balancing lifespan and safety ¦ Fei Wang and Dalin Sun discuss new research on ion association to reduce the onset temperature of exothermic reactions and a solvent-relay strategy to extend cycle life and improve safety of batteries.
Balancing lifespan and safety - Nature Energy
Electrolyte design aims to promote ion association (the complexation of cations and anions) to boost lithium-ion battery performance, but safety remains a concern. Now, researchers show that ion association can reduce the onset temperature of exothermic reactions that trigger thermal runaway, and propose a solvent-relay strategy to extend cycle life and improve safety.

Targeted strategies for accelerating US coal plant retirements - Nature Energy
US coal power has been on the decline over the past decade, but there is no path forward for a complete phaseout in alignment with climate goals. Targeted early retirement strategies are now made available for major groupings of coal plants using their key group characteristics and similarity to plants with announced retirements.
