Behind the Paper: More About Our Recent Nature Communications Publication
One reason for capacity fade in lithium ion batteries - that pesky phenomena that results in you getting progressively less and less talk time on your mobile phone as your battery ages - is in part due to mechanical degradation that occurs in batteries at nanometer lengths scales.
Researchers from MaDE and Argonne National Laboratories imaged degradation inside of batteries. See the related blog post by Vanessa Wood.
