Compact batteries enhanced by spontaneous silver matrix formations

Thursday, January 8, 2015 - 14:30 in Physics & Chemistry

In a promising lithium-based battery, the formation of a highly conductive silver matrix transforms a material otherwise plagued by low conductivity. To optimize these multi-metallic batteries—and enhance the flow of electricity—scientists needed a way to see where, when, and how these silver, nanoscale "bridges" emerge.
