First report of new research to change the electrolyte in batteries and gain higher voltages for the same volume. Another one to watch.

High-voltage electrolyte gives lithium-ion batteries a boost

Lithium-ion batteries power much of the modern world, so improvements in performance can benefit a wide range of devices. Scientists in Japan tinkering with battery components have come up with a new ingredient they say can offer greater safety and an ability to operate at higher voltages, raising…
