The majority of the world's rechargeable batteries are now made using lithium-ion. Most rely on a combination of different ...

Thicker battery electrodes pack in more active materials, promising higher energy density. However, when it comes to ...

Metal-based electrodes in lithium-ion batteries promise significantly higher capacities than conventional graphite electrodes. Unfortunately, they degrade due to mechanical stress during charging and ...

Lithium ion batteries, as the name implies, work by shuffling lithium atoms between a battery's two electrodes. So, increasing a battery's capacity is largely about finding ways to put more ...

If we can get lithium metal electrodes to work, then we can turn one of the major pieces of the battery into the material that carries charges around, which would save a fair bit of weight and ...

A new electrode design inspired by clusters of pomegranate seeds overcomes some of the obstacles in using silicon in lithium-ion batteries, bringing a longer battery life for common gadgets like ...

Researchers have been testing a new type of lithium ion battery that uses single-crystal electrodes.Over several years, they’ve found that the technology could keep 80% of its capacity after ...

Rechargeable lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries were first introduced in 1991, and their appearance heralded a revolution in consumer electronics. ... This may break up the electrode, and possibly even ...

Probing lithiation and delithiation of thick sintered lithium-ion battery electrodes with neutron imaging. Journal of Power Sources, 2019; 419: 127 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpowsour.2019.02.075; ...
