Battery-powered vehicles and battery energy storage systems at every scale mostly use lithium-ion chemistry, but high costs and concerns with thermal events have driven US labs to investigate other ...

Generating electricity from renewable sources will soon become as easy as putting a brush and a tube in a tub of wastewater. A carbon fiber, bottle-brush anode developed by Penn State researchers will ...

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 ...

The top image shows the construction of the ZnS/CuS anode and carbon fiber cathode used in the experiment. The bottom image illustrates the performance of the ZnS/CuS anode/cathode construction ...

A technical paper titled “Design Strategies for Anodes and Interfaces Toward Practical Solid-State Li-Metal Batteries” was published by researchers at Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology.

Researchers at Columbia Engineering have developed a new gel electrolyte that both improves the lifetime and safety of ...

Sodium-ion batteries (NIBs) are gaining traction as a next-generation technology to complement the widely used lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). NIBs offer clear advantages versus LIBs in terms of ...
