As electric vehicles (EVs) and smartphones increasingly demand rapid charging, concerns over shortened battery lifespan have ...

The tin anode demonstrated exceptional stability when paired with a sodium chromium oxide (NaCrO2) cathode. The pouch cells retained around 90 percent of their capacity after 100 charge–discharge ...

During the oil crisis of the 1970s, a chemist at Exxon named M. Stanley Whittingham, working on a new type of rechargeable battery, discovered that lithium ions could slip inside the gaps in a layered ...

September, a critical period for the sodium-ion battery industry's push towards mass production, saw differentiated performance across the industry chain segments — production of some materials surged ...

In recent years, the popularity of sodium-ion batteries has suddenly risen. Chinese companies such as Contemporary Amperex Technology (CATL), Gotion Hi-Tech, EVE Energy and BYD are all engaging in ...

In the ongoing search for materials for new and improved batteries, sodium as a cheap and widely abundant option ticks some important boxes, but bringing these experimental designs up to speed is far ...

Lithium-ion batteries are what make modern electric vehicles possible. This Engineering Explained video shows how they work, and how they're manufactured. The video is sponsored by LG Energy Solution, ...

This article will provide an overview on how to design a lithium-ion battery. It will look into the two major components of the battery: the cells and the electronics, and compare lithium-ion cell ...

New research has identified a nanostructure that improves the anode in lithium-ion batteries. Instead of using graphite for the anode, the researchers turned to silicon: a material that stores more ...
