US-based Factorial Energy and South Korea’s POSCO FUTURE M are teaming up on all-solid-state batteries, the “holy grail” of ...

Today's lithium batteries commonly use a liquid electrolyte to carry ions between the two electrodes, but scientists eyeing solid alternatives see some exciting opportunities ahead. Among them are the ...

Canmax is advancing solid-state battery development with a "sulfide electrolyte + high-nickel/lithium-rich manganese-based cathode" strategy, progressing in mass production and sampling of key ...

Battery fires are rare, but when they happen, they require enormous amounts of firefighting resources. The problem is caused by the flammable electrolyte, which can generate its own oxygen in a ...

The global energy transition, driven by electrification in transport, energy storage and portable devices, hinges on a crucial component: batteries. As demand for batteries skyrockets with projections ...

Silicon anodes can greatly boost the energy density of all-solid-state batteries, but their large volume changes often cause ...

In a newly published study, we describe our design for a self-extinguishing rechargeable battery. It replaces the most commonly used electrolyte, which is highly combustible—a medium composed of a ...

A quick calculation: To estimate a battery’s internal resistance, you can use a simple voltage-drop method when the ...

Looking at the future of battery materials. Designing a battery is a three-part process. You need a positive electrode, you need a negative electrode, and — importantly — you need an electrolyte that ...

You probably know that simply tossing dead batteries in the trash is no bueno – they release toxic heavy metals as they break ...
