Battery Additives

Battery additives are substances added to battery electrolytes or electrode materials to improve their performance. They can improve battery capacity, cycle life, safety, and rate performance. For example, lithium nitrate (LiNO3) is a common additive in lithium-sulfur batteries, which helps form a stable solid electrolyte interface (SEI) and inhibits polysulfide shuttling. Battery additives are essential for the development of high-performance, long-lasting, and safe batteries for a variety of applications, including electric vehicles, portable electronics, and energy storage systems.
