Oxford researchers have found a way to visualize one of the most hidden — yet critical — components inside lithium-ion ...

A surprising breakthrough could help sodium-ion batteries rival lithium—and even turn seawater into drinking water. Scientists discovered that keeping water inside a key battery material, instead of ...

An innovative approach to battery materials could bring sodium-ion energy density and charging speeds far closer to those of lithium-ion, scientists say. When you purchase through links on our site, ...

Looking ahead: A team of battery researchers may have discovered a low-cost way to extend lithium-ion battery life without redesigning existing cells. Using a technique inspired by organic chemistry, ...

Lithium-ion batteries are found in everything from smartphones to cars, and while they are generally very safe if stored and charged correctly, there are thousands of documented cases of them catching ...

TAUNTON, Mass. (WJAR) — Investigators say a lithium-ion battery may have sparked the early-morning fire that ripped through a Taunton apartment complex Tuesday, injuring four people and displacing 15 ...

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 ...

Changing just one of the materials used in lithium-ion batteries could prevent the uncontrollable fires that erupt if they are pierced or bent, and mass production of these safer batteries could begin ...
