SLAC and Stanford scientists have set a world record for energy storage, using a clever “yolk-shell” design to store five times more energy in...

Jolting complex materials with bursts of energy from rapid-fire lasers can help scientists learn why some of these materials exhibit useful properties such as...

SLAC and the SUNCAT Center for Interface Science and Catalysis supported creation of a new carbon material that significantly improves the performance of batteries...

Sulfur Cathode Experiments Test Chemistry Beyond Conventional Lithium-Ion

SLAC and Stanford's Yi Cui leads the quest to build more energetic batteries. For SSRL's involvement, read the sidebar "Batteries: An Inside Story."

Wrapping silicon anode particles in custom-fit graphene cages could solve two major obstacles to using silicon in high-capacity lithium ion batteries.

They created a comprehensive picture of how the same chemical processes that give these cathodes their high capacity are also linked to changes in...

The SIMES investigator was cited for his singular contributions to quantum materials science.

This ‘beautiful’ herringbone-like pattern could give rise to unique features that scientists are just starting to explore.

The SLAC-Stanford team pulled hydrogen directly from ocean waters. Their work could help efforts to generate low-carbon fuel for electric grids, cars, boats and...

New SLAC-Stanford Battery Center bridges the gaps between discovering, manufacturing and deploying innovative energy storage solutions. 

Researchers demonstrate a way to remove the potent greenhouse gas from the exhaust of engines that burn natural gas.
