A New Sodium Metal Anode For Rechargeable Batteries
December 8, 2021 | Leave a Comment
University of Texas at Austin researchers have created a new sodium-based battery material that is highly stable, capable of recharging as quickly as a traditional lithium-ion battery and able to pave the way toward delivering more energy than current battery technologies. The new sodium metal anode resists the formation of dendrites, a common problem with […]

Keeping The Dendrites Out Of Lithium Batteries
March 23, 2021 | 1 Comment
Massachusetts Institute of Technology researcher’s new approach could help solve the longstanding problem of dendrite formation, which has hampered the development of new solid-state lithium-ion batteries. As researchers push the boundaries of battery design, seeking to pack ever greater amounts of power and energy into a given amount of space or weight, one of the […]
