New 3D-printed battery electrodes double storage capacity across 7,500 charge cycles

SMRTR summary

LLNL researchers used 3D printing to create ultra-thick battery electrodes with an interlocking "finger" design that eliminates dead zones where ions get trapped. This doubles storage capacity while maintaining fast charging speeds, lasting over 7,500 charge cycles — a major step forward for electric vehicles and grid energy storage.
