Researchers create electrode with high energy capacity from nanosheets


A team of researchers has fabricated thick electrodes from two-dimensional materials in order to design an electrode for faster charging and higher energy capacity in lithium-ion batteries. “Two-dimensional materials are commonly believed [to be] a promising candidate for high-rate energy storage applications because it only needs to be several nanometers thick for rapid charge transport,”… Read more »
