Researchers use neutrons to gain insight into battery inefficiency

Wednesday, January 20, 2016 - 07:20 in Physics & Chemistry

Rechargeable batteries power everything from electric vehicles to wearable gadgets, but obstacles limit the creation of sleeker, longer-lasting and more efficient power sources. Batteries produce electricity when charged atoms, known as ions, move in a circuit from a positive end (anode) to a negative end (cathode) through a facilitating mix of molecules called an electrolyte.
