Every time someone plugs in an electric vehicle, powers a laptop or draws electricity from the grid during a heat wave, they're relying on a battery to safely hold and deliver energy.
As the demand for electricity grows, engineers are racing to build stable batteries that store more energy, charge faster and last longer.
At Boise State, Micron School of Materials Science and Engineering Professor Hui (Claire) Xiong is leading a new research effort that could change the way batteries are made.
Backed by a National Science Foundation award, the three-year collaborative project brings together experimental materials science, national laboratory partnerships...
