University of Texas at Dallas researchers have discovered why LiNiO₂ batteries break down, and they are testing a solution that could remove a key barrier to widespread use of the material. They published their findings online Dec. 10 in the journal Advanced Energy Materials.

The team plans first to manufacture LiNiO₂ batteries in the lab and ultimately to work with an industry partner to commercialize the technology.

Florida Atlantic University has officially established itself among the most prestigious colleges and universities in the United States for its notable accomplishments in research. It now holds the esteemed designation of “R1: Very High Research Spending and Doctorate Production” by the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education, and shares this status with less than 5% of the nearly 4,000 universities in the U.S. 

A Korean research team has succeeded in securing a basic technology for further improving the completeness level of neuromorphic devices.
