Spontaneous Formation of Nanoscale Hollow Structures Could Boost Battery Storage

Sunday, June 14, 2020 - 10:10 in Physics & Chemistry

An unexpected property of nanometer-scale antimony crystals — the spontaneous formation of hollow structures — could help give the next generation of lithium ion batteries higher energy density without reducing battery lifetime. The reversibly hollowing structures could allow lithium ion batteries to hold more energy and therefore provide more power between charges. Flow of lithium […]
