Stanford researchers have developed various high ionic conductivity thin films (LiAlO2, LiAlF4) to stabilize lithium ion battery electrodes without sacrificing power density.
Stanford researchers at the Cui Lab have adopted for the first time, a 3D porous lithium (Li) metal anode and flowable interphase to construct an all-solid-state Li metal battery.
Stanford researchers led by Profs. Yi Cui and Steven Chu have demonstrated that interfacial layer of hollow carbon nanospheres allows stable lithium metal anode cycling up to a practical current density of 1 mA cm-2.
Engineers at the Zhenan Bao Lab have developed an elastic Li-ion conductor with dual covalent and dynamic hydrogen bonding crosslinks providing high mechanical resilience without sacrificing the room temperature ionic conductivity.
Stanford researchers at the Yi Cui Lab have demonstrated a new method to increase stability of lithium battery interfaces via stitching of two-dimensional atomic crystals by atomic layer deposition (ALD) which provides an innovative way to prepare chemically and mechanically s
Researchers in Prof. Hongjie Dai's laboratory have combined graphene with metals and other inorganic elements to create a variety of hybrid materials that can be used for high performance electrocatalytic or electrochemical devices such as batteries and fuel cells.
Researchers in Prof. Hongjie Dai's laboratory have developed nanocarbon/inorganic nanoparticle hybrid materials for various electrocatalytic and electrochemical applications, such as batteries and fuel cells. Three types of hybrid materials have been created:
Stanford researchers developed a 'self-healing' polymer coating that conforms to and stabilizes lithium metal battery electrodes. The polymer is an extremely stretchy, flexible and adaptive protective layer.
Using bamboo inspired carbon nanofibers, Stanford researchers at the Yi Cui Lab have created a freestanding, flexible and elastic electrode for energy storage devices.
Rechargeable lithium sulfur batteries have attracted great interest in recent years because of their high theoretical specific energy, which is several times that of current lithium-ion batteries.
