CUHK develops molecular coating to enhance lithium metal battery stability A key technological breakthrough for the electric vehicle industry

A research team from The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) has developed a novel interface engineering strategy by designing and assembling a tailored molecular layer on the surface of battery positive electrode materials, successfully modulating the chemical environment at the electrode-electrolyte interface. This strategy significantly enhances the stability and cycling performance of high-voltage lithium metal batteries, offering a new pathway toward safer, more stable, and higher-energy lithium metal batteries for the future. It also helps enhance the safety and driving range of electric vehicles and energy storage devices. The research findings have been published in the leading journal Nature Nanotechnology.
