(Columbia University School of Engineering and Applied Science) Columbia Engineering Professor Yuan Yang has developed a new method to increase the Energy Density of lithium batteries. He has built a trilayer structure that is stable even in ambient air, which makes the battery both longer lasting and cheaper to manufacture. The work, which may improve the energy density of lithium batteries by 10-30%, is published online today in Nano Letters. …read more
