Tiny droplets are powering big ideas in science. Researchers have developed a miniature, soft, and flexible lithium-ion battery made from biocompatible hydrogel. This new battery, smaller than a ...

The researchers embedded a flame-retardant polymer directly into the battery’s cathode. This material remains stable at normal operating temperatures. But when the battery heats up past 100 °C, the ...

The company has produced some 19 billion cells since entering the EV sector, providing batteries for some 3.7 million ...

Industry analysts estimate that NMC will account for 20% of all lithium-ion battery cells on the market by 2025. In addition, NMC is the preference for manufacturers of electric vehicles (EVs).

Lithium-ion batteries, found in many popular consumer products, are under scrutiny again following a massive fire this week in New York City thought to be caused by the battery that powered an ...

The average cost per kWh of a lithium-ion battery was $790 in 2013. BNEF said it expects average battery pack prices to drop again next year to $133/kWh, then to $80/kWh in 2030.

Lithium-ion batteries are essential to modern technology. Containing lithium, along with metals like cobalt, graphite, manganese and nickel, they power cell phones, laptops, medical devices ...

The new lithium-ion droplet battery—called LiDB—meets all those goals. It's soft, rechargeable, biodegradable, and can be activated by light.
