Battery Science – News and Features

Lithium batteries could be beneficial for electric vehicles if their lifetimes can be extended. Researchers have tracked lithium deposition and removal from a battery anode to identify where battery failure occurs.

Using artificial intelligence to analyze vast amounts of data in atomic-scale images, researchers answered long-standing questions about an emerging type of rechargeable battery posing competition to lithium-ion chemistry.

Calcium-ion batteries are being proposed as an alternative to lithium, to help in the transition towards electric vehicles.

A future powered by sustainable energy sources could save the world from devastating climate change. But renewable energy has an intermittency problem. What if surplus renewable energy could be stored as computation instead? That’s the thinking behind “information batteries,” proposed in a new paper.

Scientists have developed an efficient synthesis route to produce a novel co-doped anode material for rechargeable seawater batteries.

All-solid-state batteries are now one step closer to becoming the powerhouse of next-generation electronics as researchers introduce a strategy to restore their low electrical resistance.

Research has uncovered a way to improve the efficiency of a type of grid-scale storage crucial for a global transition toward renewable energy.

Scientists may have found a way to revitalize rechargeable lithium batteries, potentially boosting the range of electric vehicles and battery life in next-gen electronic devices.

Scientists have developed paper-thin biodegradable zinc batteries that could one day become an environmentally sustainable option for powering flexible and wearable electronic systems.

Researchers have created a new sodium-based battery material that is highly stable, capable of recharging as quickly as a traditional lithium-ion battery, paving the way toward delivering more energy than current battery technologies.
