During lithium ion battery (LIB) operation, lithium ions react with the electrochemically active material in the porous electrodes, driving morphological changes in the active materials, which in turn ...

The degradation and failure of Li-ion batteries is strongly associated with electrode microstructure change upon (de)lithiation. Now, an operando X-ray tomography approach is shown to correlate ...

A new study has found a way to prevent lithium plating in electric vehicle batteries, which could lead to faster charging times. A new study led by Dr. Xuekun Lu from Queen Mary University of London ...

SAE International Journal of Materials and Manufacturing, Vol. 8, No. 1 (January 2015), pp. 91-97 (7 pages) ABSTRACT Fuel cells are a promising energy source on account of their high efficiency and ...

The microstructures of electrodes can impact the performance of battery cells as they play a key role in battery energy, charge times, electrical conductivity and power density. Moreover, these ...

MoltexFLEX scientists worked with the University of Manchester's Nuclear Graphite Research Group to use X-ray micro CT scanners to investigate how molten salt infiltrates pores within standard ...

Researchers in China have fabricated a carbon-based perovskite solar cells that achieves almost the same efficiency as perovskite counterparts based on gold electrodes while also providing higher ...

MANILA (Reuters) - Graphite electrodes are the main heating element used in an electric arc furnace, a steelmaking process where scrap from old cars or appliances is melted to produce new steel.

NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Indian manufacturers of graphite electrodes used in electric arc furnaces are booming on the back of China's pollution crackdown, but soaring prices have set the companies on a ...
