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 developed a 'self-healing' polymer coating that conforms to and stabilizes lithium metal battery electrodes. The polymer is an extremely stretchy, flexible and adaptive protective layer.
Researchers in Prof. Zhenan Bao's laboratory have developed a high-performance, self-healing dielectric elastomer that could be used in stretchable electronics or robotic applications.
Stanford researchers have developed an elastomer polymer dielectric for high performance transistors with both high gain and high transconductance, which also shows unprecedented high bias-stress stability in air and water.
