Rice team shows that thin nanotube films stop dendrite growth from Li metal anodes

Green Car Congress

Here, it is shown that lithiated multiwall carbon nanotubes (Li?MWCNTs) MWCNTs) act as a controlled Li diffusion interface that suppresses the growth of Li dendrites by regulating the Li + ion flux during charge/discharge cycling at current densities between 2 and 4 mA cm ?2. —Salvatierra et al.

Sandia researchers confirm mechanism by which Li ions move in and out of LFP electrodes

Green Car Congress

Using X-ray and electron microscopy, researchers at Sandia National Laboratories have confirmed the particle-by-particle mechanism by which lithium ions move in and out of electrodes made of lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO 4 , or LFP). The research is reported in a paper in the ACS journal Nano Letters.
