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 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.
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.
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 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.
