An interdisciplinary team at HZB has investigated how this tin foam (pictured) behaves as a battery electrode. Metal-based electrodes in lithium-ion batteries promise significantly higher ...

‘We were able to show that the mechanical stress in such a tin foam during volume expansion is significantly reduced,’ says Dr Risse. This makes tin foams an interesting material for lithium batteries ...
