In this study, the layered anisotropic structure of β-Li₂TiO₃ enables preferential dislocation slip under high pressure, amplified by nanoscale stress concentration, driving plastic deformation to ...

Yi-Chen Lan, doctoral student in chemical engineering at Penn State and first author of a paper published in ChemSusChem, holds a battery coin cell that contains composite electrolytes reprocessed ...

Lithium-ion batteries have been a staple in device manufacturing for years, but the liquid electrolytes they rely on to function are quite unstable, leading to fire hazards and safety concerns. Now, ...

Researchers at Penn State University have successfully applied cold sintering to the solid and liquid electrolyte components of solid-state batteries to recycle them. Solid-state lithium batteries are ...
