The batteries last more than 12,000 charge cycles, making them a competitive storage method that could one day dethrone lithium-ion alternatives.

The lithium-ion battery pack sitting under millions of electric vehicles on the road right now may be approaching a shelf ...

Lithium dendrites, i.e. tiny crystalline thorns that grow off of lithium-ion battery anodes during charging, have been a ...

For the first time, scientists have observed how tiny metal "thorns" called dendrites sprout inside lithium-ion batteries, which can cause the batteries to short-circuit. Their findings, published in ...

Luckily, there are a number of startups that are committed to making lithium-ion battery recycling mainstream.

The project is expected to significantly enhance India’s domestic capacity for recovering critical minerals through advanced ...

The only lithium mine operating in the United States is in Nevada. But there are plans to open more to meet the demand for lithium-battery storage.

As the owner of a 3-year-old laptop, I feel the finite lifespan of lithium batteries acutely. It’s still a great machine, but the cost of a battery replacement would take me a significant way down the ...

In chemistry, some problems are so persistent that they are nicknamed “forever.” Perfluoroalkyl and ...

Researchers have demonstrated a way to use corn protein to improve the performance of lithium-sulfur batteries, a finding that holds promise for expanding the use of the high-energy, lighter-weight ...

A lithium-air battery generates electricity by allowing lithium ions (Li⁺) to move from the lithium anode through the electrolyte to the porous cathode, where they react with oxygen from the air to ...

CATL says its sodium-ion pack can keep charging and delivering power far below freezing. The real test is whether those lab numbers survive real winter driving ...
