The lead-acid 12V auxiliary batteries are still a common thing in modern electric vehicles, despite the traction batteries are, in almost all cases, some kind of lithium-ion chemistry. That's probably ...

Researchers have discovered a solid material that rapidly conducts lithium ions. Consisting of non-toxic earth-abundant elements, the new material has high enough Li ion conductivity to replace the ...

Brittle, microscopic metal filaments called dendrites are now firmly established as a primary driver of lithium-ion and solid-state battery failure, according to a growing body of peer-reviewed ...

Despite their potential, solid-state batteries struggle to replace lithium-ion due to manufacturing hurdles and performance ...

Recent incidents involving Tesla cars and Ford's F-150 Lightning electric pickup have led to production halts and investigations. U.S. researchers have developed a new lithium-air battery with a solid ...

These days, batteries are found in just about every electronic device you could imagine. From phones to lawn mowers to cars, the items that make life in the modern world happen to do so with a battery ...

Lithium was supposed to be soft. The metal bends easily in bulk form, stretches before it breaks, and deforms the way you ...

Sodium-ion batteries unveiled by Swedish group Northvolt last month completely avoid the need for critical minerals such as lithium. This is currently the only viable battery chemistry that does not ...

Batteries used in smartphones or in EVs normally charge for 10 hours on their first cycle, but turbo-charging them to 100% capacity in 20 minutes may lead to a 50% longer lifespan. When you purchase ...

There is greater demand placed on data centers than ever before. Could lithium-ion technologies hold the answer to keeping the industry moving forward?
