Microstructured Ion-conducting Composites 2017-012
ABSTRACT A composite membrane with nanostructured inorganic and organic phases is applied as an ion-selective layer to improve processability, prevent dendrite shorting, and increase power output of lithium-metal anodes through better Li-ion conductivity. Nanoconfinement, as opposed to macroscale confinement, is known to dramatically alter the properties of bulk materials. … [Read more...] about Microstructured Ion-conducting Composites 2017-012
