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 ...

Large-capacity rechargeable batteries capable of sustaining repeated charge-discharge cycles are expected to become core technologies for electric vehicles and other elements of an electrified society ...

Electric vehicles have advanced rapidly over the past decade, but battery technology remains the ...

Battery start-up QuantumScape believes ditching the anode can unlock big improvements in EVs, but challenges persist. A lithium-ion battery may have fewer parts than a combustion engine, but it's no ...

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 ...

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 ...

NEO Battery Materials, based in Canada, has reached a major milestone in its quest to develop an electric vehicle (EV) battery that can achieve a 1,000-mile range. The company’s advanced silicon EV ...

Could an electric vehicle travel from Seoul to Busan and back on a single charge? Could drivers stop worrying about battery performance even in winter? A Korean research team has taken a major step ...

As more and more Americans embrace electric vehicles, automakers and the federal government are racing to secure the materials needed to build EV batteries, including by pouring billions of dollars ...
