Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have achieved a breakthrough on the path to practical application of lithium ...

Battery electrode materials need to do a lot of things well. They need to be conductors to get charges to and from the ions that shuttle between the electrodes. They also need to have an open ...

Engineers developed a cathode material for lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries that is healable and highly conductive, overcoming longstanding challenges of traditional sulfur cathodes. The advance holds ...

From electric vehicles to wireless earbuds, traditional lithium-ion batteries power our daily lives as they charge fast and store plenty of energy. However, they rely on a solution known as liquid ...

Lithium-iron-chloride cathodes help deliver next-generation all-solid-state batteries that are energy-dense, durable and self-healing. While liquid electrolyte designs introduce electrical bottlenecks ...

According to a study published in Advanced Energy Materials, University of Missouri Assistant Professor Matthias Young and his colleagues are exploring methods to develop solid-state batteries that ...

The global energy transition, driven by electrification in transport, energy storage and portable devices, hinges on a crucial component: batteries. As demand for batteries skyrockets with projections ...

A recent publication in Scientific Data introduces a comprehensive vibrational spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD) database. This library encompasses data for ten compounds identified as key ...

Rechargeable aqueous zinc-iodine batteries get a lot of attention because they are safe, do not cost much, and have a high theoretical capacity. Zinc has a high theoretical capacity (820 mAh g-1) and ...
