External Li supply reshapes Li deficiency and lifetime limit of batteries
Nature, Published online: 12 February 2025; doi:10.1038/s41586-024-08465-yA strategy is reported that improves the performance and lifetime of lithium-ion batteries by adding organic Li salt after assembly, which decomposes during cell formation, liberating Li ions and expelling organic ligands as gases.
