Battery Science – News and Features

Cracks in predominant lithium-ion electrodes shorten battery lifespans, but a neuroscience-inspired technique shows that they have an upside.

Researchers have developed a nonflammable electrolyte that does not catch fire at room temperature by tailoring the molecular structure of linear organic carbonate to prevent fire and thermal runaway in lithium-ion batteries.

Batteries have become an integral part of our everyday lives. In this article, we will consider the main types of batteries, battery components and materials and the reasons for and ways in which battery materials are tested.

New battery offers improved safety, enhanced performance and remarkable flexibility for new applications.

Researchers have developed a promising approach to make fuel cells more affordable. The new method reduces the amount of platinum-group metal (PGM) loadings by replicating a process used in computer chip manufacturing.

Perovskite oxyhydrides are promising compounds for catalytic systems and batteries. Unfortunately, their synthesis is usually quite challenging, but scientists may have found a solution.

Pulses of light tune MXene's structure to improve energy storage and battery stability.

A team of chemists has developed a new method for generating fluorochemicals without using hazardous hydrogen fluoride gas.

Aluminum foil could be key to creating new batteries with higher energy densities and greater stability, a new study suggests. Researchers say that such an aluminum battery could enable electric vehicles to run longer on a single charge and would be cheaper to manufacture.

In a world increasingly concerned about the environmental and geopolitical implications of fossil fuel usage, nuclear energy has resurfaced as a subject of great interest.
