OAK RIDGE, Tenn., May 5 -- The U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory issued the following news release:
In a rechargeable battery, the electrolyte transports lithium ions from the negative to the positive electrode during discharging. The path of ionic flow reverses during recharging. The organic liquid electrolytes in commercial lithium-ion batteries are flammable and subject to leakage, making their large-scale application potentially problematic. Solid elect . . .
