Multicomponent Metal Oxides: Hydrogel‐Based Additive Manufacturing of Lithium Cobalt Oxide (Adv. Mater. Technol. 2/2021)

In article number 2000791, Daryl W. Yee and co-workers report a facile approach for the additive manufacturing of architected multicomponent metal oxides via calcination of metal-ion containing 3D printed hydrogels. Architected lithium cobalt oxide lattices were fabricated with this technique and used as 3D lithium-ion battery cathodes. As highlighted in this joint cover with Advanced Energy Materials 2002637, these 3D cathode materials can potentially be combined with 3D carbon anodes, paving the way towards fully 3D lithium-ion batteries.
