Research and Development of Thermally Durable Electrolyte for Lithium Ion Battery

For ensuring safety of lithium ion batteries (LIBs), we have extensively investigated the quasi-solid electrolyte where lithium ion conducive liquid is quasi-solidified at silica surfaces as thermally durable electrolyte, and applied it to high capacity and high energy density LIB. For the liquid ph...
