Thermal Runaway-Induced Rupture Mechanisms of Lithium Ion Batteries
Batteries from a variety of manufacturers are examined using high-speed X-ray imaging to determine their failure mechanisms during thermal runaway.
Printing Flexible Graphene Supercapacitors
A new printing method produces flexible graphene microsupercapacitors with a planar architecture, suitable for integration in portable electronic devices.
Improving Sputtering Deposition for Better Photovoltaics
A new technique renders the low-cost process of sputtering a highly competitive fabrication method for photovoltaics.
Flexible Solar Cell for Wearable Electronics Produced by Green Printing Process
Fengyu Li and Yanlin Song from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with their co-workers, have designed high-performance flexible perovskite solar cells (PSCs) for wearable electronics using green printing technology.
Advanced Interface Materials: Don’t Miss These Highlights
AMI presents the impressive covers of its current issue, highlighting electrochemistry, acoustic streaming, superhydrophobicity, and precision APT.
Robust Nickel Composite for Lithium Ion Batteries
Researchers from Sun Yat-sen University, China, prepare a composite based on nickel nitride and sulfide nanosheets as the anode material for lithium ion batteries. The composite has enhanced cycle stability and lithiation capacity compared to the nitride and sulfide alone.
Low-Cost Battery from Waste Graphite
Swiss researchers have discovered a promising approach to how we might produce batteries out of waste graphite and scrap metal.
Household Electricity Pricing: Dynamic Pricing under Different Taxation Schemes
The observed behavior in the Danish electricity retail market is considered, arguing that benefits of dynamic pricing should be analyzed with consumers’ adoption decisions in mind.
