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 ...

A research team at the University of Surrey has developed a new lithium-ion battery architecture that embeds silicon within carbon nanotube scaffolding, targeting the persistent tradeoff between high ...

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.

British researchers have introduced a novel lithium-ion battery anode structure that delivers some of the highest energy ...

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 ...

Lithium-ion batteries are the most popular battery storage option today, controlling more than 90% of the global grid battery storage market, according to some estimates. However, the lithium-ion ...

Arguably the toughest hurdle facing EV designers is creating a battery pack that could power a vehicle for as much as 1,000 miles on a single charge. With that goal in mind, researchers at the ...

A new contender is emerging in the battery world, promising faster charging and surprising advantages that could shake up ...
