Novel electrodes enhance battery capacity

Nanowerk  June 27, 2019
A team of researchers in the US (SUNY Binghamton, Clarkson University) has developed a new synthesis technique to produce electrode sheets made from nanostructured selenium. The new positive electrodes have the electrical and mechanical properties needed for use in rechargeable batteries. The sheet is mechanically self-supporting, potentially eliminating the need for a cathode current collector entirely, further reducing battery volume…read more. TECHNICAL ARTICLE
