The new battery uses an aluminum powder as a current collector. Interestingly, while this is a solid, it flows more like a liquid. Combined with a solid electrolyte, the battery flips the usual ...

A new paper has demonstrated that improving the texture of the soft metal used in battery anodes greatly improved performance. The team added a thin layer of silicon between lithium metal and the ...

While the battery is in use, the ions flow from the anode through an electrolyte to a current collector (cathode), powering devices and cars along the way. Anode-free batteries remove the anode ...

The current collector developed by SK Nexilis consists of nickel (Ni) foil, nickel (Ni)-plated foil, and nickel (Ni)-alloy foil. This product, specialized for all-solid-state batteries, is designed to ...

Lithium-ion battery expert Prof. Paul Christensen queries claims made by LG Chem about finding the key to suppressing thermal ...

To create the new batteries needed for EVs, mobile devices and renewable energy storage, researchers have explored new materials, new designs, new ...

“In our work, we discovered that adding a thin layer of silicon between lithium metal and the current collector helps create ... “This change improved the battery’s rate capability by ...
