Introducing a groundbreaking advancement in lithium metal anode technology, Stanford researchers have developed an innovation that leverages a flower-like nanostructured hard carbon host (CF) to unlock the full potential of lithium metal.
Researchers in the Zhenan Bao Group and the Yi Cui Group have developed a Salt-Philic, Solvent-Phobic (SP2) Li anode polymer coating that dramatically out performs state of the art Li anode coatings/electrolyte strategies battery cycle life.
Stanford Researchers have discovered fluorinated acetal electrolytes for lithium metal batteries that demonstrate fast stabilization of lithium metal, compatibility with high-voltage cathodes, and low cell impedance.
Stanford researchers have demonstrated a self healing electrode that can dramatically enhance the cycle lifetime of lithium ion batteries by applying Si microparticles with a thin layer of self-healing conductive composite.
Researchers at Stanford University and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have developed a new coating design which makes lithium metal batteries stable and promising for further development.
Stanford researchers have developed a high-performance, ultrafast, thermoresponsive polymer that can act as a circuit breaker to prevent fires in next-generation high-energy-density batteries by rapidly and reversibly turning off when overheated.
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 in Zhenan Bao and Yi Cui's labs have developed an organic redox mediator that could make Lithium Sulfur batteries charge faster with less energy.
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.
