Researchers say novel SEI-forming binder for graphite can improve fast charging performance

A team of researchers from the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST) has demonstrated a new fast-charging technique that promotes Li-ion intercalation of active material through the use of a novel binder material. According to the studies, the binder material improves desolvated Li-ion transport through the solid electrolyte interface (SEI) and within the… Read more »

KAUST discovers inorganic 3D foam that may improve anode performance

KAUST, a Saudi Arabian private research university, says that lithium batteries may soon enjoy enhanced efficiency, thanks to a highly ordered foam of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) that it has discovered.  KAUST reports that the complex hierarchical structure of the self-assembling foam allows it to easily and repeatedly soak up and then release large quantities of… Read more »
