Applying external magnetic field to ferromagnetic manganese ferrite conversion-type anode for 4X greater energy density, and dendrite suppression

https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1110794

"magneto-conversion enables enough energy density to alleviate EV range concerns, while lowering thermal runaway/ explosion risk... lithium entering anode creates magnetic nanoparticles which align due to magnetic field... Lorentz Force disperses lithium ions evenly across electrode surface rather than letting them clump together... >99% Coulombic efficiency for 300+ cycles... lithium stored both within/ on oxide matrix surface... viable pathway for replacing graphite-based batteries with more powerful lithium-metal"
