It has triple the capacity of graphite and is relatively common. Scientists make mind-blowing discovery about common material ...

This makes tin foam an interesting material for lithium batteries. Modern lithium-ion batteries are typically based on a ...

This makes tin foam an interesting material for lithium batteries. Modern lithium-ion batteries are typically based on a multilayer graphite electrode, with the counter electrode often made of cobalt ...

An interdisciplinary team at HZB has investigated how this tin foam (pictured) behaves as a battery electrode. Metal-based electrodes in lithium-ion batteries promise significantly higher ...

To ensure long battery life, uniformity of cell pressure and cell temperature is essential. The compressed foam between cells develops uniform pressure across the cell surface. The foam’s thermal ...
