A non-academic perspective on the future of lithium-based batteries

James T. T. Frith et al.

Summary: This article discusses the significant gap between academic research and industrial market needs in the field of lithium-based batteries, which is partly due to the lack of peer-reviewed publications from industry. The authors present a non-academic perspective to bridge the divide, focusing on key metrics and challenges for developing practical batteries. They emphasize the need to consider various performance aspects together when developing new technologies and also examine the suitability of supply chains, sustainability of materials, and the impact on system-level cost as important factors.

Comparing the Solid Electrolyte Interphases on Graphite Electrodes in K and Li Half Cells

Franziska Allgayer et al.

Summary: Graphite in potassium-ion batteries shows a faster capacity fade compared to lithium-ion batteries, possibly due to the reactivity of the potassium metal counter electrode or the instability of the solid electrolyte interphase. Previous studies have focused on different electrolyte formulations or charge states of graphite electrodes in potassium half cells. This study compares the surface layers in both charged and discharged states of lithium and potassium half cells, revealing significant differences in SEI composition.
