The researchers employ a facet-oriented Zn metal, with a physicochemically polished surface, minimizing surface energy and surface defects, leading to uniform, horizontal magnesium growth. This ...

A newly published Taiwanese patent describes a powderless metal additive manufacturing concept using a TFT backplane to electrochemically print metal.

Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences Researchers from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a new lithium metal ...

Now that his new metal-plating system is all polished up and promises to revolutionize many industrial processes, Physicist Donald M. Mattox of Albuquerque’s Sandia Corp. is faced with a persistent ...

Most research on electroplating tries to find ways to make it plate parts more uniformly. [Ajc150] took the opposite direction, though, with his selective electroplating project, which uses an ...

A new study tracked lithium metal deposition and removal from a battery anode while it was cycling to find clues as to how failure occurs. The research could help improve the use of pure lithium metal ...

Cathodes play a dominant role in defining cell energy density, and also make up a significant proportion of cell costs, due to the use of high-cost metals such as cobalt, nickel and lithium. Standard ...

A novel lithium metal battery that can be recharged in a couple of minutes and charged and drained at least 6,000 times, more than any existing pouch battery cell, has been developed by researchers at ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a new lithium metal battery that can be charged and discharged at least ...
