Metal Nanoclusters For Stable Lithium Sulfur Batteries
November 29, 2023 | Leave a Comment
Tokyo University of Science researchers have developed a graphene separator embedded with platinum-doped gold nanoclusters for lithium sulfur batteries. But issues like formation of lithium polysulfides and lithium dendrites lead to capacity loss and raise safety concerns. Yet lithium sulfur batteries (LSBs) offer a higher energy storage potential and with the new separator have enhanced […]

Research Explores How Rechargeable Batteries Degrade
November 16, 2023 | Leave a Comment
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory researchers have upended what’s known about how rechargeable batteries function. Rechargeable battery performance could be improved by a new understanding of how they work at the molecular level. For decades, researchers have assumed that the inevitable filmy buildup on electrodes inside rechargeable batteries is the driver of performance loss. Research shows […]
