Sodium is one of the most abundant and affordable metals in the world. Now researchers present a concept that allows sodium-ion batteries to match the capacity of today's lithium-ion batteries. Using ...

Researchers find new issue complicating fast charging. Haste makes waste, as the saying goes. Such a maxim may be especially true of batteries, thanks to a new study that seeks to identify the reasons ...

AZoM talks to Dr. Daniel Abraham about his research surrounding lithium-ion batteries and the challenge of fast charging in particular. Please can you introduce yourself, your background, and how you ...

The MIT study has created a new model, called the Coupled Ion-Electron Transfer (CIET) model, to advance lithium-ion batteries. The new model redefines the fundamental chemical reaction known as ...

A research team at the University of Manchester has made a significant breakthrough in understanding lithium-ion storage within the thinnest possible battery anode, composed of just two layers of ...

Extremely fast charging of our EVs would be a dream come true, right? Just imagine rolling up to a charger and juicing up your battery within mere five minutes, or as long as it takes to fill up a car ...

Researchers now have a clearer picture of the chemical mechanisms underlying lithium-ion batteries—and it could lead to faster, more efficient batteries for electric vehicles, portable electronics, ...

Lithium intercalation is the process by which lithium ions insert themselves into the solid electrode of a lithium-ion battery. MIT researchers have shown that as lithium ions (green) move from an ...

Despite their widespread use, many aspects of lithium-ion battery design have been based on trial and error, with a limited understanding of the underlying physical and chemical processes. A recent ...
