A multi-institutional research team led by Georgia Tech's Hailong Chen has developed a new, low-cost cathode that could radically improve lithium-ion batteries (LIBs)—potentially transforming the ...

The research team developed a battery with negligible voltage decay, leading to more efficient and long-lasting batteries. By stabilizing a unique honeycomb-like structure within the cathode material ...

Battery electrode materials need to do a lot of things well. They need to be conductors to get charges to and from the ions that shuttle between the electrodes. They also need to have an open ...

Three-in-one strategy uses only carbon dioxide and water to recover 95% of lithium and reuses leftover metals, capturing CO2 ...

Tesla has been working on its dry cathode technology for years, even running into development issues. Now, those development efforts appear to be materializing. The Cybertruck equipped with dry ...

Thinner lithium sulfur batteries may be closer thanks to a foamed, protein-based binder that forms microchannels inside the ...

Lithium-ion batteries can degrade over time for multiple reasons, including cracking among cathode particles. Commonly mentioned in research papers as intergranular cracking or intergranular fracture, ...

A research team has developed a low-cost iron chloride cathode for all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries, which could significantly reduce costs and improve performance for electric vehicles and large ...
