A Solution Found For Lithium Ion Dendrite Formation

July 21, 2020 | Leave a Comment

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory researchers have developed a new material for the battery anode. The material could enable long-range electric vehicles that can drive for hundreds of miles on a single charge, and electric planes called eVTOLs for fast, environmentally friendly commutes. In the pursuit of a rechargeable battery that can power electric vehicles (EVs) […]

The Good Tin Whiskers for Batteries

October 2, 2012 | 1 Comment

Dr. Grant Norton, professor in the School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering is leading researchers at Washington State University in developing a nanoneedle tin (Sn) anode material formed as “Tin Whiskers” for Lithium-ion batteries. Elemental Sn is an attractive high-performance anode material because of its high theoretical specific capacity (992 mAh g-1) and high operating […]
