Recently, the research team successfully developed an integrated electrode with triple functions of current collector, anode active material, and membrane , and has been successfully applied to a high-efficiency, low-cost dual-ion battery. This new structure effectively solves the problems of dramatic volume changes and poor cycle performance of high-capacity anode materials during charging and discharging, and is beneficial to simplify battery production processes and increase battery energy density. Related research results "Multifunctional Electrode Design Consisting of 3D Porous Separator Modulated with Patterned Anode for High-Performance Dual-Ion Batteries" have been published online in the well-known journal "Advanced Functional Materials" (Adv. Funct. Mater. 2017) and received media widely reported.
