3D Printed Solid State Lithium Batteries: Safer, Less Expensive, Higher Energy Density
There’s nothing worse on Christmas morning than when your kid opens a present to find a shiny, noisy, lights-blinking toy with the words “BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED” stamped across the front…
NASA Awards Contract to Build 3D Printed Batteries in Space
I was recently playing a game of Trivial Pursuit with my parents, and a question came up that I was sure my husband would know the answer to; so, in…
New Research Summary of 3D Printing Materials and Methods for Batteries and Supercapacitors
Because the technology can achieve complex shapes and structures and multifunctional material systems, a trio of researchers in Ireland – Umair Gulzar, Colm Glynn, and Colm O’Dwyer – were interested…
Researchers Tailor Graphene Content in Bespoke Filament for 3D Printed Porous Anodes in Batteries
Long-lasting, rechargeable lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries have a high energy density and low self-discharge, and are finding their way into aerospace and military applications, among others. As the demand for energy…
3D Printing Metals Onto Fabric for Inexpensive Antenna, Sensors and Wearables
A group of researchers from Imperial College London has developed a technique for 3D printing metals such as silver, gold and platinum onto natural fabrics. The process could also be used…
