Electrolytes are no longer a postscript to the battery story
Just because electrolytes are effectively inert, doesn’t mean they can’t be sophisticated
Battery developers may have just been honoured by the 2019 Nobel prize in chemistry, but that doesn’t mean the technology is anywhere close to being the finished product. Whereas a couple of years ago we often brought you news stories about new electrode materials that promised to enhance batteries, I’m noticing a lot more research into alternative electrolytes.
