Stanford researchers have developed a mechanistic guideline for lithium metal battery electrolyte and separator design to mitigate lithium dendrite growth.
Researchers in the Cui lab have designed a polymer-polymer solid-state electrolyte for lithium batteries that is fireproof, lightweight, and mechanically robust.
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.
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 Yi Cui Lab have demonstrated a new method to increase stability of lithium battery interfaces via stitching of two-dimensional atomic crystals by atomic layer deposition (ALD) which provides an innovative way to prepare chemically and mechanically s
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.
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.
