Conceived for stationary energy storage, the proposed sodium-ion battery configuration relies on an P2-type cathode material ...

New research has identified a nanostructure that improves the anode in lithium-ion batteries. Instead of using graphite for the anode, the researchers turned to silicon: a material that stores more ...

Generating electricity from renewable sources will soon become as easy as putting a brush and a tube in a tub of wastewater. A carbon fiber, bottle-brush anode developed by Penn State researchers will ...

Lithium-ion batteries are a kind of rechargeable battery that is charged or discharged through desorption or insertion of lithium ions (Li +) from or into the active material structure. In recent ...
