A Different Way to Make a Cathode May Mean Better Batteries
January 13, 2016 | Lawrence Berkeley National LaboratoryEstimated reading time: 4 minutes
Spray pyrolysis is an inexpensive, common technique for making materials. “The reason we like it is that it offers a lot of control over the morphology. You get beautiful spherical morphology which is very good for battery materials,” Doeff said. “We’re not the first ones who have come up with idea of decreasing nickel on the surface. But we were able to do it in one step using a very simple procedure.”
This research was supported by DOE’s Vehicle Technologies Office.

New RF Materials Offer Options for RF Designers
04/29/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007 MagazineThe RF materials arena has changed quite a bit in the past decade. The newest thermoset laminates boast performance numbers that are almost competitive with PTFE, but without the manufacturability challenges. At IPC APEX EXPO this year, I spoke with Brent Mayfield, business development manager at AGC Multi Material America. Brent walked through some recent innovations in RF materials, advances in resin systems, and the many design trade-offs for RF engineers to consider for each material set.
Discovery Opens Doors for Cheaper and Quicker Battery Manufacturing
04/23/2025 | PNNLThe discovery centers on sublimation, a commonly known process whereby under the right conditions, a solid turns directly into a vapor. Sublimation is what creates the tail of a comet as it flies by the sun. As the comet’s icy shell heats up, the ice instantly becomes vapor, instead of first melting into liquid water.
