Bridging boundaries: How are researchers packing more energy into batteries?

Researchers at Penn State develop dense, thick electrodes with higher energy density and enhanced mechanical properties compared to commercial batteries By Ty Tkacik Electrodes are the veins of batteries, responsible for harnessing and transporting the lifeblood of energy storage devices: electricity. Battery power and efficiency largely hinge on the performance of these electrodes — and now a team led by researchers at Penn State has created a new design that holds promise for practical...
