Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery technology has historically been the power cell of choice, especially given that we’re always all looking to maximize our smartphone’s battery life. However, many modern ...

However, Li-ion batteries face performance and longevity challenges. Capacity loss stems from side reactions at the electrode–electrolyte interface, reducing cycle life. Thermal instability and ...

The work, led by Chunsheng Wang at the University of Maryland, offers a relatively simple way to make lithium-ion batteries more durable using standard materials and ...

A common concern about EVs is the fate of their battery packs once their operational lives conclude. While a landfill may be the first idea brought to mind, several companies are currently working to ...

Lithium-ion batteries, along with fuel cells and supercapacitors, are one of the key technologies driving the electrification of society and industry and overcoming the environmental damage of fossil ...

A research team has succeeded in developing a non-flammable gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) that is set to revolutionize the safety of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) by mitigating the risks of thermal ...
