An innovative approach to battery materials could bring sodium-ion energy density and charging speeds far closer to those of ...

Leaving water inside a sodium battery material boosts performance and enables desalination. Sodium-ion batteries could play a major role in the future of sustainable energy storage and may even help ...

Even very slight environmental noise, such as microscopic vibrations or magnetic field fluctuations a hundred times smaller ...

Lithium-ion batteries have become essential in everyday technology. But these power sources can explode under certain circumstances and are not ideal for grid-scale energy storage. Sodium-ion ...

In a bid to make lithium-ion batteries safer, cleaner, and easier to recycle, scientists at the Institute of Science Tokyo have developed a novel quasi-solid electrolyte. The material, dubbed 3D-SLISE ...

Demand is booming for batteries that are faster, thinner and cheaper. We want electric cars and bikes that travel further, ...

Lithium-ion batteries are in our phones, computers, luggage, and even cars. Compared to fossil fuels, like oil and gas, rechargeable batteries like these are meant to be a more sustainable option, but ...

Battery recycling is critical but current techniques, such as controlled burning of old packs, can release toxic materials. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory says it has a safer, cheaper option.
