A new anode-free battery design achieves record energy density using stabilized lithium metal, offering a path to longer EV ...

Lithium-ion batteries can become unstable under certain conditions, leading to fires. Now, researchers have used new materials that they say can make batteries safer.

Electric cars promise quiet efficiency, yet a growing number of drivers are discovering that their vehicles are quietly ...

One way scientists believe they could greatly improve on the performance of today’s lithium-ion batteries is by introducing lithium metal for use as the anode component. Described by researchers at ...

Engineers at MIT have developed a new battery design using common materials – aluminum, sulfur and salt. Not only is the battery low-cost, but it’s resistant to fire and failures, and can be charged ...

Battery startup Ion Energy Storage reveals that its anodeless solid-state battery design has achieved 800 cycles without volume change or compression. The battery developer will receive $20 million ...

The lithium battery has long been the king of electronics. It powers everything from smartphones to self-driving cars — but it also has a serious problem with overheating and, at times, exploding.

Writer and occasional reluctant perpetrator of engine swaps, James O'Neil is a malaise era enthusiast and also fascinated by the many ways the auto industry has since recovered from those dark days. A ...

What is the definition of a "structural" battery? Materials used by the research team to create this innovative structural battery. Initial performance results of the battery. Having a physical ...

Automotive batteries always have been treated as plug-and-play parts of a vehicle, but that approach no longer works in electric vehicles. In fact, the battery is now a differentiating factor, and it ...

Faster charging and reduced weight are just some of the advantages of this prototype EV battery. While Stellantis is abandoning its plan to sell 100% EVs by 2030, the company certainly isn’t resting ...

Climate change and greenhouse gas emissions, together with the need for renewable energies and a more sustainable future, are pushing the global economy toward electrical mobility. To be successful, ...
