Dalian Chemicals Institute developed 3D printed sodium-ion micro batteries

Recently, Wu Zhongshuai, researcher of the State Key Laboratory of Catalysis Chemistry and Energy Application Research Group of the State Key Laboratory of Catalysis Foundation, Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Zheng Shuanghao, associate researcher, developed electrode inks that can form three-dimensional conductive networks and electrolyte inks with high ion conductivity, significantly improved the electron and ion transport efficiency in 3D printing high-capacity microelectrodes, and developed high-capacity, high-magnification flexible sodium-ion miniature batteries

The development of wearable electronics and microelectronic devices has led to research

In this work, the research team built a high area specific capacity, high magnification planar sodium ion micro battery

The research was published in Advanced Materials under the title 3D Printing Flexible Sodium Ion Micro-batteries with Ultrahigh Areal Capacity and Robust Rate Capability
