Chinese researchers achieve 700 Wh/kg lithium battery using fluorinated hydrocarbon electrolyte

New Capabilities

Co-author on the Nature paper

The best commercial lithium batteries today store about 250 to 300 watt-hours per kilogram. A team from Nankai University and the Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology — the institution that builds China's rockets and space station modules — has published results in Nature showing a new fluorinated hydrocarbon electrolyte that pushes lithium metal batteries to 700 Wh/kg at room temperature and nearly 400 Wh/kg at minus 50 degrees Celsius.
