Anode-free metal batteries represent an exciting new design, where prefabricated anodes are eliminated to maximize energy ...

Lithium-metal anode-free batteries promise higher energy density and longevity, but their biggest problem is the dendrites that form inside the battery and ruin it. QuantumScape claims it solved this ...

Battery start-up QuantumScape believes ditching the anode can unlock big improvements in EVs, but challenges persist. A lithium-ion battery may have fewer parts than a combustion engine, but it's no ...

Spurred by concerns over cost, safety, and sourcing of raw materials, researchers are on the hunt for alternatives to lithium-ion batteries. Now, scientists have developed a proof-of-concept, ...

It is at once imperative and urgent to develop batteries capable of storing large amounts of energy if we are to successfully transition to economies and civilizations that are fully powered by ...

Lithium-ion batteries are used not only for small consumer electronics like cell phones and laptops, but also electric bicycles, electric vehicles, and long-term power storage. Though rare, ...

All modern lithium-ion batteries are, in a way, a compromise. The original concept was a “lithium metal” battery, which could hold substantially more energy in the same volume. There was just one ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Electricity is highly perishable. If not used at the moment it is ...

I have been following Our Next Energy (ONE) as closely as possible after the company achieved something extraordinary. It made a Model S equipped with its Gemini battery pack run 752 miles (1,210 ...

Renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power, could help decrease the world's reliance on fossil fuels. But first, power companies need a safe, cost-effective way to store the energy for ...
