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 ...

A lithium-ion battery may have fewer parts than a combustion engine, but it's no less complex. It involves an intricate interplay of materials that influences an electric vehicle’s range, charging ...

Lithium-ion batteries are used not only for small consumer electronics like cell phones and laptops, but also electric bicycles, electric vehicles, and long-term power storage. Though rare, ...

A research team has developed a low-cost iron chloride cathode for all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries, which could significantly reduce costs and improve performance for electric vehicles and large ...

Solid-state lithium metal batteries (SS-LMBs) exhibit higher energy density than conventional lithium-ion batteries. However, the use of lithium metal as an anode in large-scale manufacturing remains ...

If the EV momentum is to be kept up so that America can truly buck our century-old oil addiction, we'll need new, bigger supplies of battery materials than we've ever seen before. And, on the flip ...

A study team created a prototype calcium (Ca) metal rechargeable battery that can withstand 500 cycles of repeated charge-discharge—the practical limit. Schematic of a prototype Ca metal battery. The ...

Atlantic storm Isha blew through Sint-Truiden, Belgium, a town 65 km from Brussels—and the headquarters of the battery start-up Solithor—earlier this year, knocking over bicycles and motorbikes.

NEO Battery Materials, based in Canada, has reached a major milestone in its quest to develop an electric vehicle (EV) battery that can achieve a 1,000-mile range. The company’s advanced silicon EV ...
