Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have achieved a breakthrough on the path to practical application of lithium ...

Materials science ain’t easy. And it’s especially difficult when it comes to the batteries that power our smart home, wearable, and mobile devices; more specifically, lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries.

Cathodes play a dominant role in defining cell energy density, and also make up a significant proportion of cell costs, due to the use of high-cost metals such as cobalt, nickel and lithium. Standard ...

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 ...

Anode-free lithium metal batteries, which have attracted attention as candidates for electric vehicles, drones, and ...

Due to our ever-increasing reliance on electronics, researchers are always on the lookout for battery materials with more ...

Researchers use titanium diboride nanosheets as anode material in lithium-ion batteries to enable fast charging and extend battery life. Lithium-ion batteries are ubiquitous in the world of electric ...

A recent article published in the Journal of Magnesium and Alloys proposed highly lipophilic Mg-Li-Cu alloys, prepared via a simple and controlled method, for stabilizing Li metal anodes. These ...
