Researchers have uncovered the mechanical properties of the nanoscale "thorns" that develop inside lithium-ion batteries, which can cause them to short circuit and die – or worse, such as ...
How this nanotechnology is changing lithium mining and batteries. With the demand for electric vehicles rising and the need for lithium battery energy storage for renewable energy growing, the lithium ...
In chemistry, some problems are so persistent that they are nicknamed “forever.” Perfluoroalkyl and ...
A research team affiliated with UNIST has demonstrated that liquid electrolytes, when frozen, can still facilitate lithium-ion conduction sufficient for battery operation—challenging the traditional ...
