The latest lithium-ion batteries on the market are likely to extend the charge-to-charge life of phones and electric cars by as much as 40 percent. This leap forward, which comes after more than a ...

They published their work on Jan. 10 in Energy Material Advances. “Energy storage technologies represented by rechargeable batteries are regarded as an indispensable part of the modern energy system ...

Electric car owners and InsideEVs readers normally know what an anode and a cathode are. At the Volkswagen Power Day, the German automaker wanted to take the definitions of the negative and positive ...

Anode – Typically made of reactive materials like lithium or zinc, the anode undergoes oxidation, releasing electrons. Cathode – A material capable of accepting electrons, the cathode undergoes ...

It has taken years of toiling away in their labs, but developers of lithium-ion batteries made with solid electrolytes—known as solid-state batteries or SSBs—are moving toward commercialization of the ...

Silicon anodes are generally viewed as the next development in lithium-ion battery technology. Silicon's ability to absorb more charge translates to longer battery life and smaller batteries, if ...
