Stephen Tsai and researchers at Stanford University's Structures and Composite Laboratory have designed a composite grid-stiffened skin structure, which is ultra-lightweight, stiff, strong, and easier and less expensive to manufacture.
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.
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.
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:
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.
