ON THE COVER: Advanced Rechargeable Lithium
Batteries. (top left) Change in electron spin density when Li
is removed from Li(Ni0.5Mn0.5)O2.
The bright color around Ni indicates a strong electron loss as
it shifts from Ni2+ to Ni4+. The electron
density was calculated with the generalized gradient approximation
to density functional theory for the material with and without
Li. This figure is the difference between these two electron
densities. Image courtesy of G. Ceder. (top center) Schematic
illustration of a rechargeable lithium battery in discharge mode.
(top right) Transmission electron micrograph of a block-copolymer
electrolyte, showing the formation of interconnected nanoscale
ion-conducting domains. Specimen stained with RuO4.
Dark regions indicate the polyethylene-oxide-based block component.

lithium solid- polymer battery (Sadoway Research Group, MIT)

Film Technologies Inc.). Image courtesy of D.R. Sadoway. See
the technical theme that begins on p. 590.
