Scientists are seeking new materials to improve lithium-ion battery performance, lifetime and safety. For example, these tiny structures, made of a nickel-cobalt-manganese compound, are a possible new type of cathode. These studies often reach into the nano-level as researchers try to understand activity at the atomic scale in order to custom-design new materials for batteries.
