In an effort to meet energy reduction commitments, lithium-containing compounds and alloys are essential to make progress. Though there have been undeniably enormous strides in developing these ...

For the first time, cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) has been used to study the most challenging material in lithium batteries – the lithium metal anode. Previously, it was impossible to study ...

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have developed a simple yet powerful method to characterize lithium metal battery performance with the help of a widely used imaging tool: ...

Epitaxial semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) are nanoscale objects, which incorporate fully confined carriers and are therefore perfectly suited for fundamental studies on atom-like objects in a ...

Engineers in the US have created a new type of separator for lithium batteries that acts as a safety buffer in case of battery failure. Lithium batteries generally fail due to the appearance of needle ...

Custom-made Porous Copper Micro-foam Negative Electrodes Store Deposited Lithium Due to their design, zero-excess lithium metal batteries (ZELMB) are thinner and lighter than standard lithium metal ...
