Anode-free sodium metal batteries (AFSMBs) are promising next-generation energy storage systems due to their high energy density and low cost. Unlike traditional designs that include a hard carbon or ...

An ultrathin braided wire in the core of an electrode increases the energy density of lithium-ion batteries, a team of researchers reports in the journal Angewandte Chemie. Batteries of this kind ...

The vast majority of consumer electronics use lithium-ion batteries, and with each generation, these devices are designed smaller, lighter and with longer battery life to meet the growing demands of ...

IN THEir QUEST to build a better battery, researchers have blazed a trail through the elements of the periodic table. The earliest prototype cells ran on nickel and cadmium; successors have used ...

London-based Addionics has raised $39mn in funding as it eyes commercialisation of its 3D ‘current collectors’ that can boost the performance of any battery, regardless of its chemistry. The venture ...

Researchers report that MXene current collectors perform as well as the copper foils being used in current lithium-ion batteries, but they are 3-4 times thinner and about 10 times lighter. (Nanowerk ...
