Polyanion cathode

A polyanion cathode is a battery positive-electrode material in which covalent polyanionic groups such as phosphates raise voltage but lower capacity, with olivine LiFePO₄ its commercial anchor.

Polyanionic sodium-ion cathode

A polyanionic sodium-ion cathode is a sodium-ion battery positive electrode built from tetrahedral anion units like phosphate or sulfate, one of three main cathode families.

Polycrystalline SnSe thermoelectric

Polycrystalline tin selenide (SnSe) is a bulk, multi-grain form of the layered semiconductor SnSe, a thermoelectric material that converts heat into electricity and is cheaper and more scalable to make than single crystals.
