By fusing together a pair of contorted molecular structures, Cornell researchers created a porous crystal that can uptake lithium-ion electrolytes and transport them smoothly via one-dimensional nanochannels — a design that could lead to safer solid-state lithium-ion batteries. The team’s paper, “Supramolecular Assembly of Fused Macrocycle-Cage Molecules for Fast Lithium-Ion … [continued]
