A pivotal breakthrough in battery technology that has profound implications for our energy future has been achieved by a joint-research team led by City University of Hong Kong .
Lithium-ion batteries are widely used in electronic devices, while lithium- and manganese-rich layered oxides are a promising class of cathodes for LiBs due to their high capacity and low cost. However, the long-standing problem of voltage decay hinders their application. Through advanced atomic-scale measurements and calculations, the team found that these interlayer transition metal ions act as a"cap" above or below the honeycomb structure, preventing cation migration and maintaining stability. The structure remained intact even at high cut-off voltages and throughout cycling, ensuring the batteries' structural integrity.
These findings hold great potential for various applications, from powering electric vehicles to portable electronics. The next step involves scaling up the manufacturing process for large-scale battery production.

– Novel Bacterial Proteins From Seafloor Shed New Light on Climate and AstrobiologyGigatons of greenhouse gas are trapped under the seafloor, and that’s a good thing. Along continental coasts, where slopes descend into the ocean, tiny ice cages hold methane gas in place, preventing it from rising and releasing into the atmosphere. Though not often highlighted in media, these fo

Novel bacterial proteins from seafloor shine light on climate and astrobiologyResearchers have unveiled a remarkable discovery: the identification of novel bacterial proteins that play a vital role in the formation and stability of methane clathrates, which trap gigatons of greenhouse gas beneath the seafloor. These newfound proteins not only suppress methane clathrate growth as effectively as toxic chemicals used in drilling but also prove to be eco-friendly and scalable. This innovative breakthrough not only promises to enhance environmental safety in natural gas transportation but also sheds light on the potential for similar biomolecules to support life beyond Earth.
