Lithium-ion batteries are currently the most energy dense batteries we have on the market. Energy density is the amount of energy you're able to store in a given amount of space.

Step inside the laboratory as Chibueze Amanchukwu and his team investigate the chemistry that could lead to better batteries ...

Discovery of a new lithium-air battery that can store much more energy per volume of battery than today’s lithium-ion designs ...

Traditional lithium-ion batteries rely on polymer separators for safety, which are designed to melt or shrink at around 160 °C to halt battery operation.

The amount of spent lithium-ion batteries that need disposal is expected to soar from an estimate of 900,000 metric tons this year to 20.5 million metric tons by 2040, according to a report ...

Lithium-iron-phosphate batteries feature a wider temperature range, between -4 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit, compared to the typical operating range of 32 to 113 degrees Fahrenheit in lithium-ion ...

Lithium-polymer battery technology is newer than lithium-ion. It didn’t appear on the scene until the 1970s and has only made its way into smartphones much more recently.

A recent study published in Advanced Functional Materials introduces a method for stabilizing eutectic gallium indium (EGaIn) nanoparticles using a graft copolymer, creating self-healing anodes with ...

But as Google has replaced them with lithium-ion cells, the benefits have been multiplying. Google says the cells it’s using hold twice the power and take up half as much space as its old lead ...
