A “hybrid” anode material shows potential to improve the capacity and longevity of lithium-ion batteries. An exclusive interview with Electronic Design reveals details about the material, developed at ...

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-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 ...

The Institute of Metal Research at the Chinese Academy of Sciences has unveiled an "all-iron" flow battery that can last for 16 years. Like other flow batteries, this new invention uses liquid ...

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 ...

Tin dioxide (SnO₂) has emerged as a compelling alternative to graphite in lithium-ion battery anodes, owing to its high theoretical capacity and favourable electrochemical properties. During ...

Silicon has emerged as a leading candidate to replace or augment graphite anodes in lithium-ion batteries owing to its exceptionally high theoretical capacity, which is nearly ten times that of ...

The world we live in today runs on batteries. But the lithium ion batteries that dominate the market are expensive and environmentally demanding to extract. The raw materials for lithium ion batteries ...

A month after Natron Energy began its first-of-kind sodium-ion battery mass production, Swedish sodium-ion developer Altris has identified a means of making the lithium-free batteries even more ...
