A new flow battery design achieves long life and capacity for grid energy storage from renewable fuels. A common food and medicine additive has shown it can boost the capacity and longevity of a ...

Researchers have developed a new lithium metal battery that can be charged and discharged at least 6,000 times -- more than any other pouch battery cell -- and can be recharged in a matter of minutes.

Before the age of lithium batteries, any project needing to carry its own power had to rely on batteries that were much less energy-dense and affordable. In many ways, we take modern lithium ...

Battery startup Ion Energy Storage reveals that its anodeless solid-state battery design has achieved 800 cycles without volume change or compression. The battery developer will receive $20 million ...

Lithium-ion batteries are found in everything from smartphones to cars, and while they are generally very safe if stored and charged correctly, there are thousands of documented cases of them catching ...

Solid electrolytes are neither volatile nor flammable, unlike the liquid electrolytes used in conventional lithium-ion batteries. Discovery of a new lithium-air battery that can store much more energy ...
