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 in Prof. Zhenan Bao's laboratory have developed a fully elastic, highly stretchable fluorinated polymer that can be used as a photoresist with standard lithography techniques for precise patterning of flexible electronic devices.
