Previously unseen processes reveal path to better rechargeable battery performance

Posted by in categories: chemistry, nanotechnology

To design better rechargeable ion batteries, engineers and chemists from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign collaborated to combine a powerful new electron microscopy technique and data mining to visually pinpoint areas of chemical and physical alteration within ion batteries.

A study led by materials science and engineering professors Qian Chen and Jian-Min Zuo is the first to map out altered domains inside rechargeable at the nanoscale—a 10-fold or more increase in resolution over current X-ray and optical methods.

The findings are published in the journal Nature Materials.
