Fraunhofer FEP has developed this process for a new type of component for lithium-ion batteries called metal-on-polymer ...

Energy consultancy EVTank has also projected that global shipments of solid-state batteries, with electrolyte content below ...

ZnO/Zn(OH)2 nanosheets on copper foil enhance lithiophilicity and stabilize lithium metal anodes for improved cycling performance.

A recent study published in Advanced Materials investigates how interfacial adhesion influences lithium (Li) plating behavior in anode-free solid-state batteries (SSBs) that incorporate carbon ...

Electric vehicles (EVs) have emerged as a cornerstone of sustainable transportation, but their widespread adoption faces a critical safety challenge: lithium plating in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs ...

In this new study, the team coated the anode in the glassy stuff to prevent the lithium caking up, and even at temperatures as low as -10°C, the cells rejuiced five times faster than before. What ...

Fast-charging lithium-ion batteries are ubiquitous, powering everything from cellphones and laptops to electric vehicles. They’re also notorious for overheating or catching fire. Now, with a ...

A recent study published in Nature Communications explores the mechanisms behind stable lithium plating and stripping in anode-less (AL) solid-state (SS) lithium metal batteries (LMBs) with metal ...

In 1949, lithium chloride, a table-salt alternative marketed to people with heart conditions, caused an outbreak of lithium poisoning in which at least two people died. The FDA, which had already ...

Global lithium production has been growing for the last three decades— sometimes a bit too quickly. It was just 9,500 metric tons in 1995, it passed 100,000 metric tons for the first time in ...
