Our new paper from @yicuistanford lab on calendar aging of Lithium metal is out @NatureEnergyJnl! We study Li metal batteries when they're not in-use (for ex: cell-phone turned off) and give some insight into the chemical stability of unique electrolytes

A 23-year-old Santa Cruz local caught a towering wave near Half Moon Bay that was recently estimated to be 108 feet tall, which would make it easily the world’s largest wave ever surfed.
The current world record is 86 feet.

California's Sierra Nevada range 80 days ago versus today.
These mountains likely currently hold the biggest snowpack on the planet.
How do some advanced F-based electrolytes plate uniform Li anodes, while standard electrolytes give "dendritic" anodes?
For my entire PhD, I thought Li plating kinetics were behind this...but thermodynamics turns out to still be king.
Last paper!

tldr: fast charge transfer correlates with weak solvation (F-based elytes) and uniform plating, but this contrasts with kinetics-based predictions
Instead, more positive Li/Li+ potentials in weakly solvating high CE elytes increases surface energy and favors uniform plating
Thanks to many great collaborators/mentors. The work wasn't possible without you: Sang Cheol Kim, @Solomon_OT, @yicuistanford and others

Most Read in the past 30 days "Resolving Current-Dependent Regimes of Electroplating Mechanisms for Fast Charging Lithium Metal Anodes" by @davidtboyle, Li, Pei, Vilá, Zhang, @JohnnySayavong @mun_sek, Huang, @HongxiaWang6, Liu, Xu, Sinclair, Qin, Bao & Cui go.acs.org/2BA
Fast charging is tough for Li metal batteries ("dendrites"), so we asked how does the Li plating mechanism change with slow and fast charging?
In @NanoLetters today, we mapped out Li plating mechanisms to help with future design of fast charge solutions.

This work was really a crazy 2 yr+ journey that involved the pandemic, many terrific collaborators and mentors @YuzhangLi @yicuistanford, and several surprises and pivots.
Congrats to the team and thanks for such great work.
Some nice insight here on how intermolecular interactions can tune reactions on surfaces. Implications for catalysis and electrochemistry.
Nice work, congratulations everyone and @JMUChemistry!
We've been working on this one for a while! Congrats to all of the @JMUChemistry #undergraduate authors of the most recent #BaberLab paper: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/arti…

Successfully defended my thesis! Thanks to so many great collaborators, advisors and friends. Moving on to Apple soon
Nice work. Something to watch out for in all metal-anode batteries..

Cool paper from @mun_sek Kim. He shows that solid additives can further improve the efficiency of the best electrolytes available. Getting closer to 99.9x% efficiency
