Anode-free metal batteries represent an exciting new design, where prefabricated anodes are eliminated to maximize energy ...

Anode-free metal batteries offer high energy densities, but suffer from dendritic growth and short circuits, arising from non ...

Lithium-metal anode-free batteries promise higher energy density and longevity, but their biggest problem is the dendrites that form inside the battery and ruin it. QuantumScape claims it solved this ...

It is at once imperative and urgent to develop batteries capable of storing large amounts of energy if we are to successfully transition to economies and civilizations that are fully powered by ...

Spurred by concerns over cost, safety, and sourcing of raw materials, researchers are on the hunt for alternatives to lithium-ion batteries. Now, scientists have developed a proof-of-concept, ...

Described as a "holy grail" by some and the "dream material" by others, batteries that used pure lithium metal as their anode component could open entirely new possibilities in energy storage, and ...

I have been following Our Next Energy (ONE) as closely as possible after the company achieved something extraordinary. It made a Model S equipped with its Gemini battery pack run 752 miles (1,210 ...

Stanford University researchers found that the best way to extend the life of a lithium-metal EV battery is to drain it and let it rest for a few hours. The study, “Resting restores performance of ...

Renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power, could help decrease the world's reliance on fossil fuels. But first, power companies need a safe, cost-effective way to store the energy for ...

All modern lithium-ion batteries are, in a way, a compromise. The original concept was a “lithium metal” battery, which could hold substantially more energy in the same volume. There was just one ...
