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.
Despite widespread adoption of stationary wireless charging, dynamic wireless power transfer suffers from a sensitivity to relative movement of the device with respect to the power source.
Stanford researchers led by Profs. Yi Cui and Steven Chu have demonstrated that interfacial layer of hollow carbon nanospheres allows stable lithium metal anode cycling up to a practical current density of 1 mA cm-2.
Stanford researchers have developed a Data-driven Urban Energy Benchmarking (DUE-B) methodology that uses readily available building energy consumption data to help municipalities design and develop energy efficiency policies and programs.
Researchers in Prof. Amin Arbabian's laboratory have developed a modular RF-Ultrasound architecture to download data, upload data or wirelessly charge devices implanted deep in the body.
Researchers in Prof. Michael McGehee's laboratory have developed a glass architecture that employs reversible metal electrodeposition for fast-switching smart windows with high contrast ratio and durable cycle life.
Stanford researchers developed a wireless power transfer mechanism that will charge devices while on the move, or in use. The mechanism uses a parity-time symmetric circuit incorporating a nonlinear gain saturation element.
Stanford researchers at the Fan Group have designed and tested a highly efficient radiative cooler prototype with the following record-breaking performance results:
Using bamboo inspired carbon nanofibers, Stanford researchers at the Yi Cui Lab have created a freestanding, flexible and elastic electrode for energy storage devices.
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.
