The process that makes gold-plated jewelry or chrome car accents is now making powerful lithium-ion batteries. Researchers at the University of Illinois, Xerion Advanced Battery Corporation and Nanjing University in China developed a method for electroplating lithium-ion battery cathodes, yielding high-quality, high-performance battery materials that could open the door to flexible and solid-state batteries.
Traditional lithium-ion battery cathodes use lithium-containing powders formed at high temperatures...
