Researchers from Nanyang Technical University (NTU) in Singapore have shown high-capacity, high-rate, and durable lithium- and sodium-ion battery (LIB and NIB) performance using single-crystalline long-range-ordered bilayered VO 2 nanoarray electrodes. The VO 2 nanoarrays are supported on graphene foam (GF) and coated with a thin (?2

Other work focuses on sodium as an earth-abundant alternative to lithium, but while it could lower cost, sodium ions also carry just a single charge. Thompson previously served from 2000 to 2014 as co-chair of the MIT Singapore Alliance’s Program in Advanced Materials for Micro- and Nano-Systems.
