A Promising Big Boost For Lithium Ion Batteries
November 20, 2013 | Leave a Comment
Stanford University and Department of Energy Researchers have made the first battery electrode that heals itself, opening a new and potentially commercially viable path for making the next generation of lithium ion batteries. The development is a stretchy polymer that coats the electrode, binds it together and spontaneously heals tiny cracks that develop during battery […]
