A new role for chlorine: Uncovering anion redox in solid-state battery cathodes
Phys.org ·
The Brief
- Researchers report anion redox activity in chlorine-containing cathode materials for solid-state batteries.
- The work targets extra charge storage from anions rather than only metal-centred redox in conventional cathodes.
- Source excerpt is brief; specific materials, measurements and results are not available in the provided text.
Why it matters
Anion redox could offer additional charge capacity in battery cathodes, which matters to materials and electrochemistry researchers exploring safer, higher-capacity solid-state batteries.
