A team partially replaced lithium in a lithium antimonide compound with the metal scandium. This creates specific gaps, so-called vacancies, in the crystal lattice of the conductor material. These ...

Lithium-ion batteries are at the heart of the modern world's energy needs, from electric vehicles to smartphones. Researchers are developing advanced models combining physics and machine learning to ...

"With her model, Li studied lithium plating on a graphite anode in a lithium-ion battery. The model revealed how the complex ... on "extreme cases," per the release, but she created a diagram of ...

In a new study, UC Santa Barbara researchers test safer, more efficient alternatives to traditional lithium-ion batteries.
