We've gotten pretty good at making batteries that hold a lot of power. Unfortunately, we've been less good at making ones that don't eventually corrode, catch fire, or poison the ground they end up in ...

The lead-acid 12V auxiliary batteries are still a common thing in modern electric vehicles, despite the traction batteries are, in almost all cases, some kind of lithium-ion chemistry. That's probably ...

Scientists work on new types of batteries that could be safer, more energy dense, or cheaper than existing Li-ion cells. Water-based batteries are promising, but they have a low energy density.

Lithium-ion batteries power a host of everyday electronics, but they can also be a fire hazard. Here are some key warning ...

Brittle, microscopic metal filaments called dendrites are now firmly established as a primary driver of lithium-ion and solid-state battery failure, according to a growing body of peer-reviewed ...

As the demand for electric vehicles, cell phones, and computers continues to grow, so does the demand for lithium used in lithium-ion batteries. While this soft, alkali metal known as “white gold” is ...

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

Batteries used in smartphones or in EVs normally charge for 10 hours on their first cycle, but turbo-charging them to 100% capacity in 20 minutes may lead to a 50% longer lifespan. When you purchase ...

There is greater demand placed on data centers than ever before. Could lithium-ion technologies hold the answer to keeping the industry moving forward?
