Engineers at the Zhenan Bao Lab have developed an elastic Li-ion conductor with dual covalent and dynamic hydrogen bonding crosslinks providing high mechanical resilience without sacrificing the room temperature ionic conductivity.
Engineers in Prof. Yi Cui's laboratory have developed a stretchable, stable, high energy density anode to be used in lithium ion batteries that power stretchable electronic devices (e.g., wearable electronics, bendable phones or flexible displays).
