Anode-free sodium metal batteries (AFSMBs) are promising next-generation energy storage systems due to their high energy density and low cost. Unlike traditional designs that include a hard carbon or ...

Lithium metal exhibits great promise in terms of anode materials for the next-generation high-energy-density batteries. However, the problems with dendrite development and significant volume ...

The vast majority of consumer electronics use lithium-ion batteries, and with each generation, these devices are designed smaller, lighter and with longer battery life to meet the growing demands of ...

IN THEir QUEST to build a better battery, researchers have blazed a trail through the elements of the periodic table. The earliest prototype cells ran on nickel and cadmium; successors have used ...

Design and Impact of Ultralight Copper Current Collectors. A schematic of the fabrication process for ultralight and ultrathin copper current collectors using a polyethylene (PE) scaffold and ...

London-based Addionics has raised $39mn in funding as it eyes commercialisation of its 3D ‘current collectors’ that can boost the performance of any battery, regardless of its chemistry. The venture ...

Sensing and/or controlling current flow is a fundamental requirement in many electronics systems, and the techniques to do so are as diverse as the applications themselves. This Application Note ...

Researchers report that MXene current collectors perform as well as the copper foils being used in current lithium-ion batteries, but they are 3-4 times thinner and about 10 times lighter. (Nanowerk ...
