From the beginning of the electrification evolution, the U.S. has struggled to keep up with the Chinese battery giants, and has also fallen behind Europe in some battery production and adoption areas.

Lithium-metal anode-free batteries promise higher energy density and longevity, but their biggest problem is the dendrites that form inside the battery and ruin it. QuantumScape claims it solved this ...

Cathodes play a dominant role in defining cell energy density, and also make up a significant proportion of cell costs, due to the use of high-cost metals such as cobalt, nickel and lithium. Standard ...

Researchers from POSTECH and Sogang University developed a functional polymeric binder for stable, high-capacity anode material that could increase the current EV range at least 10-fold over current ...

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.

Researchers at the University of Stanford have been working on a new type of battery, which could power everything from your phone to your car, and have made a breakthrough regarding the use of ...

In the midst of the energy transformation taking place around the world, lithium-ion batteries stand as pivotal components for both electric vehicles (EVs) and energy storage systems, demanding ...

A team of materials scientists and engineers affiliated with several institutions in China has found that one of the major reasons solid-state lithium batteries fail over time is metal fatigue in the ...
