Flower Power


Flower Power
A desert pretty flower? =)
Nope...this is actually a colorized electron microscopy image of a metal alloy.
Scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory are working to design novel structured metal alloy anodes for Na-ion batteries using an electrospin method, with the goal of creating low cost energy storage technologies for grid scale applications. The team uses a design material synthesis approach to achieve targeted nanoarchitectures by controlling chemical reactivity at interfaces.
