Solid-state battery technology is revolutionizing the way we think about energy storage. By replacing the liquid electrolytes in traditional lithium-ion batteries with solid materials, these batteries offer significant improvements in…

Peter Reuell | Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering MIT News Publ August 23, 2024 For the past decade, disordered rock salt has been studied as a potential breakthrough cathode material for use in lithium-ion batteries and a…

Welcome to Tech Under 2! In this episode, we bring you three groundbreaking tech stories: Greener Batteries: Dalhousie University has developed a new all-dry method for making lithium-ion batteries, making them cheaper, greener, and…

Scientists in China claim a game-changing development in batteries. The drawback of current lithium-ion batteries is safety. Although lithium-ion batteries are typically safe from fire unless severely damaged, cheaper "off-market" units…

Researchers at Oregon State University are demonstrating that iron, instead of cobalt and nickel, can be used as a cathode material in lithium-ion batteries. They published their findings in Science Advances. So far, the cathode…

Researchers led by Nagoya University in Japan successfully applied nanosheet technology to create a dielectric capacitor. This capacitor features the highest energy storage density ever recorded, as well as quick charging time, high output,…

Texas A&M University researchers found a 1,000% difference in the storage capacity of metal-free, water-based battery electrodes versus lithium-ion batteries that contain cobalt. The team says that metal-free batteries are better for…

Researchers at Boise State University developed a new approach to creating novel lithium-ion battery materials. Starting from an amorphous niobium oxide, they discovered that the act of cycling the material with lithium induces a…

With lithium-ion batteries powering almost all remote devices, their manufacturers have had to develop safety measures to limit peak voltage. These include devices that monitor charge-state and current flow, record the latest, full-charge…

An international team of scientists has developed a technology that permits a nanoscale molecular view of the self-assembling gateway of lithium-ion batteries. Published in Nature Nanotechnology, the work was performed by an international…
