By adding silicon to battery anodes, energy storage can be doubled or even tripled. Ph.D. student Ali Abo Hamad at FSCN ...

Researchers at Vienna University of Technology have developed an oxygen-ion battery based on ceramic materials that has a longer lifespan than lithium-ion batteries. The new battery can be regenerated ...

Batteries used in smartphones or in EVs normally charge for 10 hours on their first cycle, but turbo-charging them to 100% capacity in 20 minutes may lead to a 50% longer lifespan. When you purchase ...

Open your smartphone and you’ll probably find a lithium-ion battery inside. They’re rechargeable, which is great – but they’re difficult to dispose of, and the price of lithium is soaring. Nine ...

Once upon a time, computers were gigantic installations that filled up several rooms, and scientists thought computers would only get larger from there. Instead, computers shrank. Yes, gigantic ...

Climate research firms expect the prices of lithium, a key raw material in an EV battery, to plummet in the coming years. This trend will likely keep second-life batteries in service years after they ...

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 ...

Engineers at the Toyota Research Institute of North America (TRINA) think they've found the secret to using magnesium in rechargeable batteries. This would replace lithium as a safer, more ...

Lithium ion batteries are everywhere, your stopwatch, the alarm clock that wakes up your six-year-old, and even the extra battery for your phone. But your phone still only contains lithium ion ...
