(Source: Stanford University) By Andrew Myers Steve Castillo Yi Cui, Stanford professor of materials science and engineering, and his team are designing a pure lithium anode for rechargeable batteries. Engineers across the globe have been racing to design smaller, cheaper and more efficient rechargeable batteries to meet the power storage needs of everything from handheld gadgets to electric cars. In a paper published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology, researchers at Stanford University report that they have taken a big step toward accomplishing what battery designers have been trying to do for decades - design a pure lithium anode. All batteries have three basic components: an...
