New strategy for enabling Li-metal anodes in high capacity batteries; trapping Li in microcages

Green Car Congress

Researchers in China are proposing a new strategy to retard dendrite formation on Li metal anodes in high-capacity Li-ion batteries. In a paper published in the ACS journal Nano Letters , they describe trapping Li within hollow silica microspheres with a carbon nanotube core to suppress dendrite growth. Such an electrode exhibited a dendrite-free morphology after plating 2 mA h cm –2 of Li.

RUB team develops process for accelerated analysis of the stability of complex alloys

Green Car Congress

Material scientists at Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) have developed a novel process for analyzing, for example, the temperature and oxidation resistance of complex alloys that are made up of a number of different elements. Previously, such analyses used to take months. A paper on their work is published in the journal Materials Horizons. This method is ideally suited for high-entropy alloys.
