Researchers in Prof. Yi Cui's laboratory have used a novel electrospinning process to fabricate a unique, transparent, highly conductive metal nanofiber material that could be used to replace indium tin oxide (ITO) in transparent electrodes.
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 Cui Lab have designed a self-aligned hybrid metal-dielectric surface that offers unparalleled performance in applications where both a transparent contact and a photon management texture are needed.
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.
A team of Stanford engineers have developed a low-cost, solution-processed method to fabricate a flexible nanowire mesh that can be used in transparent electrodes, as a replacement for metal oxides (such as ITO, indium tin oxide).
