Acoustic Field Patterning of Battery Electrodes
Application of acoustic fields while making a battery electrode can rapidly transform a random slurry of battery materials into organized structures, regardless of what those exact materials may be. This change boosts both how much energy the battery can store and how fast it can charge, sidestepping a fundamental tradeoff in conventional battery manufacturing.
Expanded Hydrated Vanadate for Aqueous Zinc-ion Batteries
By using manganese cations to stabilize hydrated vanadium oxide cathodes, this technology enables a practical zinc-ion battery with the potential to exceed the capacity of today’s lithium-ion technology.
Printed Energy Harvesting Wearables
This technology utilizes composite materials as the fabric additive to enable the development of stretchable high-performance thermoelectric power generators. The durability of the wearable device is improved by undergoing 15,000 stretching cycles without mechanical or electrical failure.
