Lithium batteries are in the news constantly. But lithium has plenty of other uses. It's a drug for bipolar disorder. It used to be put in soda for hangovers, and it saved the lives of the Apollo 13 astronauts. A little about lithium - a fascinating element.

Honda's new facility could drive breakthroughs in solid-state batteries for electric cars, ultimately leading to batteries with more than double the range of existing EVs.

Clare Grey, Royal Society Research Professor and the Geoffrey Moorhouse-Gibson Professor of Chemistry at Cambridge University, delivered the 2024 Dresselhaus Lecture at MIT on understanding battery function.

Say goodbye to battery anxiety.

The nation has signaled it's prepared to hit back harder still, in ways that could inflict serious economic pain on its biggest economic rival.

It can charge as much in five minutes as typical EV batteries can in 30.

A form of lithium-ion battery called LFP is becoming increasingly popular among automakers due to its advantages on cost, safety, and materials.

A faster 3D printer, headphones that monitor your brainwaves, the secret of lighter laptops, and more.

A short pulse of voltage rebuilds lost capacity in lithium-silicon batteries, but may not work with others.

ProLogium debuted its new silicon anode EV batteries on the Paris Motor Show.

EVs can burn for days, firefighters have little or no training to deal with them, and conventional equipment isn't effective. But new technology is being developed that should make all the difference.

A recent study in Nature Communications by researchers from the Interface Science Department at the Fritz Haber Institute introduces a new advancement in the fight against climate change. Their study, "Reversible metal cluster formation on Nitrogen-doped carbon controlling electrocatalyst particle size with subnanometer accuracy," showcases a novel method for understanding the mechanisms of carbon dioxide (CO2)…

Texas-based startup Group1 has unveiled the world's first Potassium-ion battery (KIB) in the industry-standard 18650 cylindrical form factor. This groundbreaking innovation marks a significant milestone in the...

A new chemical compound similar to minerals found in alkaline rocks has been discovered at Tokyo University of Science, potentially revolutionizing solid-state batteries for electric vehicles (EVs). This pyrochlore-type oxyfluoride, replacing sulfides as the electrolyte conductor, promises exceptional conductivity even at elevated temperatures. Researchers at Tokyo University of Science have identified a…

Chinese automakers are rolling out batteries with gel electrolytes

The photoelectrochemical (PEC) overall water-splitting reaction (OWS) has been fully developed in the past decade, especially in new catalysts, characterization methods and reaction mechanisms. Compared with the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is deemed the bottleneck of OWS due to its sluggish kinetics.

The shift to electric vehicles is exciting, but it will leave us with thousands of tonnes of spent batteries.

Lithium-ion batteries have risks that AA or AAA batteries don't.

The tech company said its newest location is expected to create 60 jobs.

Form Energy, co-founded by MIT materials scientist Yet-Ming Chiang, is incorporating renewables into the grid using their iron-air batteries and research from the lab of MIT IDSS Professor Jessika Trancik.
