Tsinghua University Lithium batteries power our phones, computers, many of our cars and so much more — even the drill and weedwhacker. But as technology...

DOE/Oak Ridge National Laboratory As current courses through a battery, its materials erode over time. Mechanical influences such as stress and strain affect this trajectory,...

The thermal runaway of batteries is often referred to as the “cancer” due to its threat to battery safety, and has been considered a...

Flexible aqueous batteries, such as those used in portable electronics, often contain a hydrogel electrolyte containing water and salt. Using a chemical modification inspired...

University of Birmingham Cheaper, more efficient lithium-ion batteries could be produced by harnessing previously overlooked high pressures generated during the manufacturing process. Scientists at the University...

In a first, researchers have observed how lithium ions flow through a battery interface, which could help engineers optimize the material’s design MIT - Massachusetts...

Newly discovered reaction mechanism overcomes rapid performance decline in lithium-sulfur batteries DOE/Argonne National Laboratory Scientists discover surprising pathway to better lithium-sulfur batteries by visualizing reactions at...

The new technique uses laser pulses to slice diamond into thin wafers, paving the way for its adoption as a next-generation semiconductor material Chiba University Silicon-based...

Cracks in predominant lithium-ion electrodes shorten battery lifespans, but a neuroscience-inspired technique shows that they have an upside Rather than being solely detrimental, cracks in...

University of Córdoba The collaborative effort between the University of Cordoba and the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research (Germany) is making progress on...
