researchers at Ravishankar laboratory at bio Polytechnic Institute and bio A Archer at Cornell University have developed a simple coating that prevents side - reactions between the battery and electrolyte in rechargeable batteries , according to an article in the journal Angewandte ##gen . The researchers immersed the electrode in an indium salt solution , creating a protective layer that eliminated dendrites and remained smooth and stable over more than 250 cycles . It is hoped the development will lead to more powerful , longer - lasting , rechargeable batteries .
Scientists at Ravishankar Sundararaman at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Lynden A Archer at Cornell University have developed a simple coating that prevents side-reactions between the electrode and electrolyte in rechargeable batteries, according to an article in the journal Angewandte Chemie. The researchers immersed the electrode in an indium salt solution, creating a protective layer that eliminated dendrites and remained smooth and stable over more than 250 cycles. It is hoped the development will lead to more powerful, longer-lasting, rechargeable batteries.
