Scientists have discovered that application of nanowires can not only lower the flammability of lithium-ion batteries but also strengthen their performances, according to a paper published in "Nano Letter" jo...  more

The energy densities of lithium-sulfur batteries are at least twice as much as that of their rival Li-ion batteries of the same weight. Therefore, scientists are highly interested in developing rechargeable lithium-sul...  more

Lithium (Li) metal anode battery's energy density is far higher than that of graphite anode's Li-ion battery. However, Li-metal anode battery's severe dendrite issue makes it hard to commercialize in a huge...  more

Amid their thriving business caused by growing popularity of smartphones and electric cars, lithium-ion battery makers have constantly been haunted by the possibility of the self explosion of their batteries, due to th...  more

A major breakthrough in the development of lithium-sulfur batteries appears to be imminent. Compared with the current rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, lithium-sulfur batteries theoretically have energy density that ...  more

Scientists have discovered that the use of sugar in anode substrate can prevent formation of dendrites in lithium battery, paving the way for it to become next-generation high-energy and -density battery. Dendrites ar...  more

This year’s Battery Japan, a major annual trade show on rechargeable battery technologies, showed the continuing market interest in the lithium-ion battery (LIB) for the electric vehicle (EV). Large discussion ...  more

Technology news platforms Axios and Futurism reported that Ionic Materials Inc., a US-based battery material developer, just received a massive US$65 million in funding from investors that included South Korea’...  more

Cold temperature negatively impacts the performance of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and limits their range of applications. Presently, most LIBs can only operate at about 12% of their optimal level when th...  more
