Solid-state batteries could store more energy and charge faster than today’s batteries, but they tend to crack and fail over ...

Firefighters and safety managers now face fires that may not respond to traditional suppression. This lack of clarity has fueled misconceptions about how these fires should be handled.

Materials science ain’t easy. And it’s especially difficult when it comes to the batteries that power our smart home, wearable, and mobile devices; more specifically, lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries.

Silicon is an attractive negative electrode (anode) material for future lithium-ion batteries because it can store much more ...

Lithium- (Li-) based products have risen significantly in market acceptance over various energy storage applications because of their superior capacity and lighter mass. Today, several differing ...

The solid electrolyte interface (SEI) in lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries is essential for calculating a battery’s capacity and longevity. The SEI works dynamically across multiple charge cycles, and ...

A solid—rather than liquid—electrolyte between the opposite electrodes of a battery should, in theory, enable a rechargeable ...
