The path to high-rate energy storage goes through narrow channels
Résumé
In a recent work in Nature Nanotechnology, an international team of scientists offers a strategy for generating rapid ion transport channels in thick but dense films made of 2D flakes of metallic MoS2 quantum sheets. The narrow channels were sub-1.2 nm in width, but very short (∼6 nm) and allowed fast transport of ions, resulting in high volumetric and areal energy density.
