Scientists unveil a solid electrolyte that moves lithium as fast as liquids, promising safer, fast-charging batteries.

Lithium. While it’s not quite “the Spice” of Dune, the silvery, reactive metal is an extraordinarily valuable means for ...

Voltage fade has quietly limited some of the most promising lithium-ion cathodes, eroding the energy they can deliver long before the rest of the cell wears out. A new wave of research suggests that ...

Chemistry researchers are hoping to spark a green battery revolution by showing that iron instead of cobalt and nickel can be used as a cathode material in lithium-ion batteries. A collaboration ...

Lithium-ion batteries are notoriously inflexible, but a new study created one using hydrogels that can survive a surprising amount of punishment. According to researchers at UC Berkeley, the battery ...

Lithium may be the key component in most modern batteries, but it doesn’t make up the bulk of the material used in them. Instead, much of the material is in the electrodes, where the lithium gets ...

Transportation disasters related to lithium-ion batteries are becoming more common in Southern Nevada. A bill centering how to better regulate the transportation of these flammable batteries was ...

Sodium batteries, leveraging abundant sodium from salt, are emerging as a cheaper alternative to lithium-ion batteries while matching their power output. Recent breakthroughs have positioned them as a ...

Lithium is a finite resource, and the more we lock inside rechargeable batteries, the less we have to use. A new speedy method to free the element from such sources could be a game changer in terms of ...

A recent study evaluating garnet-type solid electrolytes for lithium metal batteries finds that their expected energy density advantages may be overstated. The researchers posited that composite or ...

Nexus Power is building biodegradable batteries from crop waste to power EVs, reduce pollution, and replace lithium-based ...
