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.

Researchers developed a new type of lighter, more affordable current collector, which conducts electricity from an electric ...

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 ...

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.
