Scientists working in China, the USA and Korea have reported a new material – tungsten-doped MoO2 – which displays enhanced lithium storage capability. The material takes the best attributes of of MoO2 and WO2– high capacity and superior electroactivity, respectively – to give a material with an overall improved performance, and with great potential for use in lithium ion batteries.
