New bio-inspired macro-meso-microporous material offers significant improvement in battery performance

Green Car Congress

The hierarchical nature of the pores also reduces the stresses in these electrodes during the charge/discharge processes, improving their structural stability and resulting in a longer life time for energy storage devices. However, the original Murray’s law is only applicable to mass transfer processes involving no mass variations.
