[Thin-Films] – Brushing thin films onto electrodes preserves batteries
21 septembre 2023
The Rice University lab of chemist James Tour introduced a technique to tune the surface of anodes for batteries by simply brushing powders into them. The powder adheres to the anode and becomes a thin, lithiated coating that effectively prevents the formation of damaging dendrites.
