Carbothermal Synthesis of High-Entropy Layered Oxides for Advanced Submicron-Particle Lithium Cathodes.

Summary: Imagine a battery so thin and flexible it can be woven into your clothes! To make these tiny "fiber batteries" work well, scientists need special, super-small materials. In this study, researchers found a new, fast way to build these tiny battery parts using lasers. This new method saves a lot of time and energy, and it doesn't create harmful waste. The tiny battery parts they made are very strong and hold their charge for a long time, even after being used hundreds of times. Best of all, batteries made with these parts keep working perfectly even when they are bent or crumpled up!
