3D-Printed Batteries Offer Increased Storage

Aug-01-18 An innovative new 3D-printed battery design could offer significantly improved lithium-ion battery capacity.

The battery design, from teams at Carnegie Mellon University and Missouri University, involves a new method of 3D-printing battery electrodes to create a microlattice, porous structure. The porous architecture allows the lithium to penetrate the electrode volume to offer a higher energy storage capacity.

The revolutionary printing method also allows for the creation of complex geometries that were not possible with the standard extrusion printing technologies.
