Researchers at the University of Oxford have developed a powerful new method to visualize an essential lithium-ion battery electrode component that had been extremely difficult to trace before. The ...

From the beginning of the electrification evolution, the U.S. has struggled to keep up with the Chinese battery giants, and has also fallen behind Europe in some battery production and adoption areas.

In the midst of the energy transformation taking place around the world, lithium-ion batteries stand as pivotal components for both electric vehicles (EVs) and energy storage systems, demanding ...

Flexible new technology Until now, the simplest ions of all—namely protons—have been used for this purpose. However, the same method could also be used to generate other ion pulses, for example from ...

Sodium-ion battery technology is moving from laboratory promise to commercial reality, with new peer-reviewed research modeling scenarios where these cells could rival lithium-ion on cost, and Chinese ...

They power tiny phones and two-tonne electric cars. They form the guts of a growing number of grid-storage systems that smooth the flow of electricity from wind and solar power stations. Without them, ...

A cheaper, safer, and more abundant alternative to lithium is finally making its way into cars—and the grid. For decades, lithium-ion batteries have powered our phones, laptops, and electric vehicles.
