Conventional processes to fabricate cathodes in lithium batteries require a glue that binds the active material to the substrate, which both takes up space and lowers the battery performance. A ...

The process that makes gold-plated jewelry or chrome car accents is now making powerful lithium-ion batteries. Researchers have developed a method for electroplating lithium-ion battery cathodes, ...

Electroplating is a technique that uses an electrical current to deposit a thin layer of metal onto a surface. It is widely used across industries to enhance material properties, such as durability, ...

Electroplated battery electrodes can store 30% more energy than today’s best commercial models, according to a new study. The electroplating process is compatible with a range of high-performance ...

THE radioisotope zinc-65 is often used as a tracer element for investigations of transport phenomena in metals. It is conveniently introduced by electroplating the zinc on to a cathode made of one of ...

Most research on electroplating tries to find ways to make it plate parts more uniformly. [Ajc150] took the opposite direction, though, with his selective electroplating project, which uses an ...

Stainless steel, an iron-carbon alloy containing chromium and other metals, has a wide range of applications, including cookware, building materials, and medical implants. Due to its biocompatibility ...

Electroless or chemical plating applies a consistent coating layer of nickel, copper, chromium or other metal to finished parts without relying on an external electrical source, by staging several ...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- The process that makes gold-plated jewelry or chrome car accents is now making powerful lithium-ion batteries. Researchers at the University of Illinois, Xerion Advanced Battery ...
