and the University of Illinois at Urbana – Champaign has developed a double-layered silicon-germanium nanotube array as an anode material for high-capacity lithium-ion batteries. this system is that it requires high- power-rate properties, due to the inherently low electron conductivity and ion diffusivity of silicon.

What we were able to see for the first time is that lithium peroxide develops in the liquid electrolyte of lithium-oxygen batteries, and is a contributor to the slow down and ultimate death of these batteries. Lithium-oxygen batteries have been tantalizing to battery researchers for years because of their potential high energy density.

Dendritic growth of lithium (Li) on lithium metal anodes has hobbled the practical application of Li-metal batteries, despite their theoretical benefits such as high capacity and low redox potential. This delayed Li transfer eliminates the “tip effect” leading to a more homogeneous Li nucleation. Foroozan et al.
