Materials science ain’t easy. And it’s especially difficult when it comes to the batteries that power our smart home, wearable, and mobile devices; more specifically, lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries.

A battery electrolyte that is solid at normal temperatures yet still conducts ions could make lithium batteries safer and longer lasting by replacing flammable liquids.

An innovative approach to battery materials could bring sodium-ion energy density and charging speeds far closer to those of ...

Alternative battery technologies, hybrid energy storage, and the use of AI-based solutions drive advances in battery energy ...

Battery technology keeps improving as electric vehicles are produced in large quantities. CALB, a Chinese battery manufacturer, claims its "U-type" battery structure offers higher energy density and ...

Lithium-ion batteries find extensive applications, ranging from powering smartphones to serving in renewable energy storage systems and electric vehicles. Therefore, researchers are working to develop ...

Although electric cars are almost as old as the automobile itself, they didn't become a worthy alternative to ICE vehicles until Li-ion batteries changed everything. These energy storage devices help ...

This has helped speed adoption, as consumers demand—by huge margins—that their BEVs have over 300 miles of range, according to studies by both Bloomberg and Cox Automotive. Whether people will use ...

A solid—rather than liquid—electrolyte between the opposite electrodes of a battery should, in theory, enable a rechargeable lithium metal battery that is safer, packs much more energy, and charges ...
