Scientists have discovered a new anode material that enables lithium-ion batteries to be safely recharged within minutes for thousands of cycles. Known as a disordered rocksalt, the new anode is made ...

In March, I used Amprius silicon anode cells as an example of how far lithium-ion cells were from mature battery technologies. In other words, a cell with twice as much gravimetric energy density as ...

Anode-free lithium metal batteries, which have attracted attention as candidates for electric vehicles, drones, and next-generation high-performance batteries, offer much higher energy density than ...

In the ongoing search for materials for new and improved batteries, sodium as a cheap and widely abundant option ticks some important boxes, but bringing these experimental designs up to speed is far ...

Lithium-ion batteries are the most popular secondary batteries for these applications, and silicon is widely regarded as the best anode material for lithium-ion batteries, particularly solid-state ...

In the midst of the energy transformation taking place around the world, lithium-ion batteries stand as pivotal components for both electric vehicles (EVs) and energy storage systems, demanding ...

Silicon anodes appear to be leading the way in the race to commercialize next-generation battery technologies for electric vehicles. The buzz around silicon-based anodes, which promise improved power ...

Engineers have created a new type of solid-state battery that leverages an anode made with pure silicon. The team says their new battery design combines two subfields of battery research to create a ...
