Study Findings Help Improve Performance and Safety of Lithium-Ion Batteries

A research group led by Dr. Yoshitaka Tateyama from the NIMS International Center for Materials Nanoarchitectonics (MANA), in collaboration with Fujifilm Corporation, succeeded in elucidating, on the atomic level, reaction mechanisms of the reductive decomposition and binding of electrolytes toward formation of solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) on the interface between electrolyte and electrode, by using the K computer, the current flagship supercomputer in Japan. The findings will play a key role in improving the performance and safety of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs).
