  Atlanta GA (SPX) Jun 10, 2020 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 ions into and out of alloy battery anodes has long been a limiting factor in how much energy batteries could hold usi ... read more |
