A project at the University of Houston has now developed a microscopy technique intended to provide new views of the internal structures of Li-ion batteries, helping engineers to design more efficient ...

Fraunhofer FEP has developed a metal-on-polymer manufacturing process that enables copper and aluminum deposition onto ...

Unique Images with Ion-beam Scanning Electron Microscopy The investigation focused in particular on the initial lithium deposition in the pores below the surface that are not visible from the outside.

Potassium-ion batteries could have a higher energy density than sodium-ion batteries. This is important for large-scale ...

The electron slow motion: Ion physics on the femtosecond scale Date: August 22, 2022 Source: Vienna University of Technology Summary: How do different materials react to the impact of ions? This ...

Six structures exhibited by the rotating sodium ion pump were reconstructed in 3D using cryo-electron microscopy. This analysis revealed that (1) the rotor exhibits non-uniform rotation behavior ...

Lithium-ion batteries recharge in the cold The researchers, who report their work in Chinese Physics Letters, explain that a trade-off always exists between the energy density, cycle performance, rate ...

Learn how the Cipher system enables precise mapping of lithium content in Li-ion battery cathode materials.

Learn how simultaneous DSC-TGA (SDT) techniques uncover critical thermal behaviors in LFP lithium-ion battery cathodes.

This is where lithium’s reactivity comes into play; its loosely held outer electron can easily be split off, leaving a lithium ion (the atom sans its outer electron).

Li-Cycle changes organizational structure The company is moving from a regional to a centralized management model and expects the workforce reduction to save about $10 million annually.
