Batteries, Volume 6, Issue 3

2020 September - 13 articles

Cover Story: New electrode materials obtained by simple, sustainable routes are intensively investigated by the scientific community. In this context, here we present the first report of the mechanical alloying synthesis of thiospinel MgCr2S4 and open up interesting possibilities for the exploitation of such material in next-generation post-lithium batteries.
