Story summary

Researchers at the Institute of Science Tokyo developed a quasi-solid electrolyte, 3D-SLISE, improving lithium-ion battery safety and sustainability.
The borate-water-based matrix enhances manufacturing and recycling, reducing flammability and environmental impact.
3D-SLISE batteries maintain stable voltages of 2.35 volts and exceed 400 charge-discharge cycles, surpassing traditional batteries.
The technology enables easy recycling by immersing electrodes in water to reclaim materials like cobalt.
This advancement aids the transition to zero-carbon energy, as reported in Advanced Materials.
