Solid-state batteries could store more energy and charge faster than today’s batteries, but they tend to crack and fail over ...

Swiss scientists develop safer and longer-lasting batteries, reducing explosions and tripling their useful life.

Crucially, the silver remained in its positively charged ionic form rather than becoming metallic again. The researchers believe this is key to preventing cracks from forming. In areas where tiny ...

A solid—rather than liquid—electrolyte between the opposite electrodes of a battery should, in theory, enable a rechargeable lithium metal battery that is safer, packs much more energy, and charges ...

QuantumScape’s lithium-metal solid-state battery replaces liquid electrolytes and graphite anodes to target faster charging ...

A battery electrolyte that is solid at normal temperatures yet still conducts ions could make lithium batteries safer and longer lasting by replacing flammable liquids.

Researchers have discovered a pyrochlore-type oxyfluoride as a stable, lithium-ion conductor with excellent conductivity, suitable for use as solid electrolytes in all-solid-state lithium-ion ...

Recent incidents involving Tesla cars and Ford's F-150 Lightning electric pickup have led to production halts and investigations. U.S. researchers have developed a new lithium-air battery with a solid ...

Theo has dedicated his life to cars. He has studied the only Automotive Journalism course in the world located at Coventry University and describes this passion as a clinical obsession. Give Theo four ...

Noah is a long-time writer, editor, website developer, and creative based in the United States and currently focused on automotive writing. Electric and hybrid powertrains and battery specifications ...

Lithium ceramic has the potential to serve as a solid electrolyte in the development of more potent and cost-effective rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. The key challenge lies in discovering a ...
