Batteries power everything from medical devices to electronic devices, yet the core technology hasn't fundamentally changed in decades. At the SLAC-Stanford Battery Center, scientists are working with industry to change that.
Could a breakthrough lithium-iron design that doubles the energy output per iron atom be the future of battery technology? Alexis Geslin of Stanford presents how X-rays, AI, and next-gen materials may be the future of battery technology.
Stanford and SLAC researchers are using our synchrotron (SSRL) to help uncover how and why batteries degrade, develop next-gen materials, and make them safer and longer-lasting.
SLAC and Stanford researchers found that compressing solid-state battery material reduced the formation of lithium-filled cracks called dendrites, leading to faster charging and longer battery life.
