Nanoscale Pillars Could Have a Big Role in Future Batteries

A new fabrication technique lets batteries use tin electrodes, and store more energy.

Tin, silicon, and a few other elements have long been languishing on chemists' list of electrode materials that could, in theory, help lithium-ion batteries hold more energy. A new way of structuring these materials could at last allow them to be used in this way.
