This study is led by Prof. Chuan Wu. Serving as one of the most promising candidates among multivalent metal batteries, rechargeable aluminum batteries (RABs) are endowed with various advantages ...

Researchers at Tohoku University of Sendai (Japan) have found a way to stabilize lithium depositions in Li-Ion batteries, which helps prevent dendrite formation and capacity degradation. Their ...

All-solid-state batteries are emerging energy storage solutions in which flammable liquid electrolytes are substituted by solid materials that conduct lithium ions. In addition to being safer than ...

In a recent study published in Small, researchers introduced a three-dimensional, freestanding porous carbon nanofiber (PCNF) structure embedded with silicon oxide (SiOx), designed to address critical ...

A new discovery could finally usher the development of solid-state lithium batteries, which would be more lightweight, compact, and safe than current lithium batteries. The growth of metallic ...

While burning electric vehicles, exploding e-bikes and melting smartphones no longer make the headlines, the issue of battery safety has yet to be fully resolved. To address this, UBC researchers ...

Battery dendrites are not caused by electrical origins, but instead have mechanical sources. The dendrites propagate due to fracture of the electrolyte and subsequent crack filling-in. Stresses on the ...

Scientists have achieved a monumental breakthrough in the realm of potassium-based batteries by developing a dendrite-free metallic-potassium anode. This innovation stabilizes the anode, which is ...

The field of battery research is riddled with roadblocks and bottlenecks, but there is one problem that rears its head more than most. Branch-like growths called dendrites continue to plague next-gen ...

Lithium metal batteries are one of the more promising alternatives to the lithium-ion architecture commonly used today, with the potential to hold many times the energy. Material scientists have taken ...
