PCWorld reports that University of Maryland researchers discovered a new electrolyte approach that extends lithium-ion battery life by forming a protective layer on the cathode. This breakthrough ...

The development of lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery technology to meet the demanding storage and delivery requirements of energy, industrial, and automotive systems has spurred demand for safer, higher ...

In a recent study, researchers at Stanford University have found a simple yet effective method to significantly extend the lifespan of lithium-metal electric vehicle (EV) batteries. The researchers ...

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have developed a simple yet powerful method to characterize lithium metal battery performance with the help of a widely used imaging tool: ...

Batteries used in smartphones or in EVs normally charge for 10 hours on their first cycle, but turbo-charging them to 100% capacity in 20 minutes may lead to a 50% longer lifespan. When you purchase ...

Researchers have uncovered the mechanical properties of the nanoscale "thorns" that develop inside lithium-ion batteries, which can cause them to short circuit and die – or worse, such as ...

Lithium-ion batteries are used in smartphones, laptops, electric cars, and stationary energy storage systems. Although their design has hardly changed in years, one key problem remains: the gradual ...
