Scientists Learn More about the First Hours of a Lithium-ion Battery’s Life

February 5, 2020 sarah Jonas Lithium-ion batteries, Mass Spectrometry

The first hours of a lithium-ion battery’s life largely determine just how well it will perform. In those moments, a set of molecules self-assembles into a structure inside the battery that will affect the battery for years to come. Now scientists have witnessed the formation of the solid-electrolyte interphase at a molecular level.
