New research from Argonne National Laboratory and the UChicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (UChicago PME) has solved a major battery mystery that has led to capacity degradation, ...

The electric vehicle industry is on the brink of a major breakthrough with the development of a longer-lasting EV battery featuring single-crystal electrodes. According to new research, this ...

A research team led by Professor Kyu-Young Park from the Graduate Institute of Ferrous & Eco Materials Technology and the Department of Materials Science and Engineering and Kyoung Eun Lee, a PhD ...

Engineers have succeeded in fabricating a nickel single crystal with only a very few crystalline defects by irradiating nickel powder with a large-radius, flat-top laser beam (i.e., a laser beam whose ...

Researchers describe a method to fabricate single-crystal vases several microns in size. The molecules spontaneously grow into the structures after drop-casting. This work may allow new experiments in ...

Jeff Dahn's battery lab at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Canada, known for its Tesla ties, is working on a new Li-ion battery chemistry. The new battery cell will use a single-crystal, cobalt-free ...

The following table lists representative single-crystal materials we have synthesized using flux, floating-zone or electrochemical technique. We have provided single-crystal samples to more than 60 ...

The solar cell was manufactured with crystals that were grown directly onto indium tin oxide (ITO) substrates covered with hole transport layer (HTL). These substrates have a controlled thickness of ...

Self-healing at 77 K reveals a crystal-based mechanism that does not rely on molecular diffusion ...

Researchers have been testing a new type of lithium ion battery that uses single-crystal electrodes. Over several years, they’ve found that the technology could keep 80% of its capacity after 20,000 ...
