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 ...

Lithium-ion batteries are used in smartphones, laptops, electric cars, and stationary energy storage systems. Although their ...

In a bid to make lithium-ion batteries safer, cleaner, and easier to recycle, scientists at the Institute of Science Tokyo have developed a novel quasi-solid electrolyte. The material, dubbed 3D-SLISE ...

Thinner lithium sulfur batteries may be closer thanks to a foamed, protein-based binder that forms microchannels inside the ...

Researchers now have a clearer picture of the chemical mechanisms underlying lithium-ion batteries—and it could lead to faster, more efficient batteries for electric vehicles, portable electronics, ...
