Using a method called immersed surface accumulation 3 - D printing (ISA - 3D printing), the research team successfully created the egg - beater
microstructure in samples made from plastic and
carbon nanotubes.
In addition to making batteries, he says, the 3D patterning technique is likely to be useful for making a wide variety of novel
carbon - based
microstructures.
But while
carbon - sulfur
microstructures could confound efforts to identify ancient life, they may provide a roadmap to an entirely different innovation: Next - generation lithium - sulfur (Li - S) batteries.
The
carbon - sulfur
microstructures created in the new study, however, may solve one of the key challenges by encasing the sulfur in conductive
carbon, potentially creating more electrically efficient Li - S batteries.
However, according to new findings published in the journal Nature Communications,
carbon - sulfur
microstructures that would be recognized today by some experts as biomaterials are capable of self - assembling under certain conditions, even without direct biological activity.
