Researchers at the University of Cambridge have examined one of the fastest-charging anode materials by using a low-cost, lab-based optical microscopy technique. Their findings showed that particle fracture, which can reduce the storage capacity of a battery, is more common with higher rates of delithiation and in longer particles.To guide the development of faster-charging and longer-lasting batteries, scientists need to be able to understand the processes occurring inside of an operating battery and identify the limitations to its performance. Currently, sophisticated synchrotron X-ray or electron ...Den vollständigen Artikel lesen ...
