The Synergy Between In Situ Gradient Polymerization and Phase Separation Enables Practical Solid-State Ni-Rich Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Summary: Batteries power our modern world, but they can sometimes overheat or catch fire. To fix this, scientists are making safer "solid" batteries. The problem is that these safe solid batteries usually don't work well with the most powerful battery parts because energy can't flow through them fast enough. Now, researchers have created a special solid gel inside the battery that forms a unique flower-like pattern. This new design helps energy flow super fast and works perfectly with powerful battery parts, making safe and strong batteries a reality!
