X-ray study images structural damage in lithium-ion batteries
Hamburg, Germany (SPX) Apr 15, 2015 - Charging lithium-ion batteries too quickly can permanently reduce the battery capacity. Portions of the energy storage structure are thereby destroyed and deactivated. These structural changes have been visualized for the first time by DESY researcher Dr Ulrike Bosenberg along with her team at DESY's X-ray source PETRA III. Their fluorescence studies show that even after only a few chargin ... more
