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 […]
