Spontaneously-hollowing antimony particles could increase the capacity of lithium ion cells, according to the Georgia Institute of Technology. “Intentionally engineering hollow nano-materials has been done for a while now, and it is a promising approach for improving the lifetime and stability of batteries with high energy density,” GaTech research engineer Matthew McDowell. “The problem has ...
