A new study shows that lithium—a critical element used in rechargeable batteries and susceptible to supply chain ...

When used in a conventional lithium-ion battery, aluminum fractures and fails within a few charge-discharge cycles, due to expansion and contraction as lithium travels in and out of the material. The ...

While current NMC cells have to retain at least 80% capacity after 2,000 cycles, a battery made through the Kavian system reached 4,000 cycles with 83% left.

These beta-rich alloys also formed denser and more stable electrode structures, which enhanced the interface between the ...

As global electric vehicle adoption accelerates, end-of-life battery packs are quickly becoming a major waste stream. Lithium ...

The silver-based coating adapts to changes in battery structure, reducing the risk of cracking or delamination. Silver ...

University of California San Diego engineers have better understood aluminium-lithium metal as a negative electrodes for solid-state batteries. They studied how lithium ions move through two phases of ...

The lifespan of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and the related capacity fade are primarily influenced by the degradation of electrodes due to the deactivation of active materials. Studying this ...

Researchers have been testing a new type of lithium ion battery that uses single-crystal electrodes. Over several years, they’ve found that the technology could keep 80% of its capacity after 20,000 ...
