Sandwich-Style Sulfur Electrode Improves Energy Density

October 7, 2019 | Researchers from the Beijing Institute of Technology have created a sandwich-structured electrode using a novel material that could make high capacity lithium sulfur batteries a reality. The research was published in APL Materials. Lithium sulfur batteries could be a higher capacity alternative to lithium ion batteries because of sulfur’s high theoretical capacity and energy density, but there are

Building a better battery layer by layer

A team of researchers from Shinshu University in Nagano, Japan is now closer to a thin, high-capacity lithium-ion battery that could open the gates to better energy storage systems for electric vehicles. The research team was led by professor Katsuya Teshima, director of the Center for Energy and Environmental Science (hereinafter called CEES) at Shinshu University in Japan. They published

Making it crystal clear: Crystallinity reduces resistance in all-solid-state batteries

Scientists at Tokyo Institute of Technology examined the mechanisms behind the resistance at the electrode-electrolyte interface of all-solid-state batteries. Their findings will aid in the development of much better Li-ion batteries with very fast charge/discharge rates. Designing and improving lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries is crucial for extending the limits of modern electronic devices and electric vehicles because Li-ion batteries are virtually
