Researchers have devised an approach for solid-state electrocatalysis in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), transcending the paradigm constraining electrocatalysis to liquid-solid and gas-solid interfaces.
The team at the University of Science and Technology of China utilized a sulfur-doped black phosphorus anode combined with a lithium cobalt oxide cathode.
The design enabled an ultrafast-charging battery that can recharge 80 percent of its energy in just 9 minutes, outperforming previously reported LIBs
