This approach led to the development of an anode material ... and the combination of the cathode and anode materials allowed for the development of a sodium-ion storage system optimizing the ...

Previous research has shown that if the anode is removed, ions can still flow from the cathode to the current ... the team found that low pressure led to uneven plating of ions, causing hotspots ...

but the split anode arrangement differs slightly from the microwave in your kitchen. The idea is to make a heated filament the cathode, so electrons are ejected from the hot surface by thermionic ...
