Researchers in the United States have developed a new method to extract 99% pure ...

Unico’s 4-channel, 5-V, 300-A advanced battery-cell formation device enables gigafactories to deliver lithium cells with 50% longer life and higher factory throughput. Producing the millions of ...

Researchers from Belgium and China have proposed a roadmap to advance lithium–nitrogen (Li–N₂) batteries, identifying key ...

The first and only time I wrote about Lyten until now was in 2021. The startup had just introduced its LytCell EV lithium-sulfur battery, which promised to make this chemistry viable thanks to what ...

China unveils a gravity battery that stores wind power by lifting massive blocks instead of relying on lithium batteries.

It is often said that Percy Spencer invented the microwave oven accidentally. In 1945, he was working on magnetrons for Raytheon when he discovered that a candy bar in his pocket had melted. In the ...

Brittle, microscopic structures called dendrites form in lithium-ion batteries and can disrupt battery performance. Unlike bulk lithium, which is pliant and supple, dendrites fracture under stress.

For years, the pitch behind solid-state batteries has been simple: replace the flammable liquid electrolyte with a tough ceramic, and lithium-metal anodes become safe enough for electric vehicles.

While every major power tool brand has its own proprietary battery system to power tools and accessories, the general concept of a rechargeable power tool battery is more or less consistent among them ...

Many consider lithium metal to be the most crucial material for negative electrodes in lithium-based batteries. This is because it has an extremely high capacity to store energy—3,860 mAh g −1 —which ...
