Addressing Battery Chemistry Failures through Hybrid Obsidian-Carbon Nanofiber Separators

<p>The growing reliance on rechargeable batteries for portable electronics and electric vehicles necessitates the development of efficient, durable, and safe battery technologies. One of the critical components determining the performance and longevity of these devices is the separator, which prevents electrode material from coming into direct contact while allowing ion transport. The common issue of battery chemistry failures can be addressed by integrating a hybrid separator obsidian and carbon nanofibers (CNF).</p>
