The most common allotropic form of Carbon is graphite. This inorganic polymeric material is found in all pencils, where it mistakenly is called “lead.” Despite being a non-metal, it also is an excellent conductor of electricity and is used as an electrode in laboratory and industrial settings.

Before I  started working on the energy storage optimization of lead free ceramics, I never thought that there is  a hysteresis  loop similar to the one  ferromagnetic materials.  Each parameter in this picture can significant changes and the magic will be different P-E loops with interesting physical properties 

My recent paper was published in the Materials Advances journal. It discusses the strategy to create high thermal conductivity epoxy thermosets by curing the monomer in a liquid crystal state. This approach helps retain the microcrystalline structure in the cured polymer network, thereby reducing phonon scattering and enhancing heat dissipation within the final cured products https://lnkd.in/gkjcd9y6

What is the main difference between conventional lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and solid-state batteries (SSBs)? There are two main differences: 1: Electrolyte Composition LIBs: Conventional lithium-ion batteries use liquid electrolytes, typically composed of lithium salts dissolved in organic solvents. SSBs: Solid-state batteries utilize solid electrolytes, which can be made of ceramic, glass, or polymer materials, eliminating the need for a liquid electrolyte.   2. Anode Structure LIBs: LIBs have a conventional anode, often made of graphite, where lithium ions move during the discharge process. SSBs: Solid-state batteries can be "anode-free," meaning they do not require a traditional anode. They may use lithium metal or alternative materials in the anode, offering potential advantages in terms of energy density and safety. #BatteryTechnology #EnergyStorage #SolidStateBatteries #LithiumIon #InnovationInEnergy #TechComparison #ElectrolyteEvolution #GreenTech #FutureOfBatteries #EnergyDensity
