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 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:
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.
