Lithium-ion batteries have become the quiet workhorses of the energy transition, but the way they are designed and tested has ...

New research from MIT could shed light on the inner workings of a new type of lithium ion battery, for the first time showing scientists why exactly it performs so well. Share on Facebook (opens in a ...

A FAMU doctoral student is developing a seawater battery that could give military submarines more than 10x the power of traditional batteries.

Oxford researchers have found a way to visualize one of the most hidden — yet critical — components inside lithium-ion batteries. By tagging polymer binders with traceable markers, they revealed how ...

A research team in China has developed an electrolyte using monofluorinated hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) solvents capable of ...

As the owner of a 3-year-old laptop, I feel the finite lifespan of lithium batteries acutely. It’s still a great machine, but the cost of a battery replacement would take me a significant way down the ...

Global demand for lithium is climbing faster than new mines can open, raising fears that battery supply could bottleneck the clean‑energy transition. A new calcium‑ion battery reported in a ...

Transmission electron microscopes (TEMs) allow researchers at the forefront of energy technology to study next-generation ...

Lithium metal is considered as an ideal anode material due to its exceptionally high theoretical capacity and low electrochemical potential. However, during repeated charging and discharging, lithium ...
