Sometimes making the parts necessary for green technologies can have dire effects on human wellbeing. The cobalt used in lithium-ion batteries in Africa's Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is a good example. Researchers led by…

Researchers have produced a flexible fiber lithium-ion battery 140 meters long. For those not using the metric system, that is just over 459 feet. The battery can be used in wearables and could even lead to 3D-printed batteries in nearly…

UC San Diego Engineers create a high performance all-solid-state battery with a pure-silicon anode. The battery uses both a solid-state electrolyte and an all-silicon anode, creating a silicon all-solid-state battery. Tests show that the…

There is a tremendous demand for lithium, and although it is a plentiful resource, access and extraction is still challenging.  New research, published in Proceedings of the National Academies of Sciences, may simplify the process of…

US-made batteries with Forge Nano's Particle Atomic Layer Deposition (PALD) nanotechnology launched into orbit aboard the SpaceX Transporter-2 mission. Forge Nano’s high-energy, Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries were launched aboard on June…

First-of-their-kind snapshots reveal byproduct crippling powerful, experimental cells It’s been long known that lithium-metal batteries hold 50% more energy than their lithium-ion counterparts, but they are prone to failure and such…

Solid-state batteries keep on attracting tremendous attention and investment with the maturing technologies and closeness to mass production.

The rapid increase in adoption of batteryless solutions is tracked in the IDTechEx report, ‘Battery Elimination in Electronics: Market Impact IoT, 6G, Healthcare, Wearables 2021-2041’.

Various automobile companies are preparing to shift from internal combustion (IC) engine vehicles to electric vehicles (EVs). For EV costs to compete with those of IC engine vehicles, their batteries, which account for about 30% of their…

Both persistent battery power and anti-corrosion coatings are key to sustaining military operations, however there is an inability to address microscopic irregularities that form at the interfaces of electrochemical materials. To find a…
