Abstract

Abstract: Invited for this month's cover picture is the Fraunhofer IISB energy materials group of Dr. Ulrike Wunderwald and her collaborators at TU Dresden and TU Freiberg. The cover picture shows the investigation of deep eutectic solvent electrolytes for Al–graphite batteries by spectroscopic methods. Ionic speciation can be deliberately tailored by varying electrolyte compositions allowing purposeful improvement of the battery performance. This is evident from the correlation of the electrolytes' spectroscopic and electrochemical properties. Read the full text of the Communication at 10.1002/celc.202100183 . Abstract : "Al‐graphite batteries with deep eutectic solvent (DES) electrolytes are a low‐cost and sustainable alternative to Li‐ion systems. Modification of Al species in the DES by carefully selecting the amide composition allows for tuning towards a better performance…" Learn more about the story behind the research featured on the front cover in this issue's Cover Profile.
