KAUST uses laser pulses to boost performance of MXene electrode

Graphite contains flat layers of carbon atoms, and during battery charging, lithium atoms are stored between these layers in a process called intercalation. These nanodots, roughly 10 nanometers wide, were connected to the MXene’s layers by carbon materials. A paper on their work is published in the journal Small. —Bayhan et al.

Classification of potential electrical storage for stationary applications. To smooth out the intermittency of renewable energy production, low-cost electrical energy storage (EES) will become necessary. The most commonly used systems today work by converting electricity to kinetic (e.g.,
