Scientists Develop New Method to Improve Cathode Materials by Creating Oxygen Vacancies

A new method to improve the strength and energy storing ability of a specific type of “lithium-rich” cathode materials has been demonstrated by an international group of scientists. They used a carbon dioxide-based gas mixture to produce oxygen vacancies at the surface of the material. According to the researchers, the treatment enhanced the energy density, which is the amount of energy stored per unit mass of the cathode material by up to 30 to 40%.

Researcher Receives KiwiNet Emerging Innovator Fund to Develop Nano-Scale Magnetic Material

The KiwiNet Emerging Innovator Fund has awarded $20,000 to Dr Jérôme Leveneur, a researcher in the Environment and Materials division of GNS Science¹s National Isotope Centre, to create an innovative nano-scale magnetic material. The magnetic material composed of nanostructures created by Dr Leveneur is 1000 times thinner that a human hair. The material’s improved properties over the traditional magnetic materials can be attributed to its small scale. This latest development could be exploited to enhance the energy efficiency of inductors and transformers.
