I now lead a battery research group at Drexel University. In just this past decade, I have watched the price of lithium-ion batteries drop as the production market has grown much larger.

New research from MIT could shed light on the inner workings of a new type of lithium ion battery, for the first time showing scientists why exactly it performs so well.

Advanced lithium-ion batteries power our modern world. From smartphones and computers to medical devices, military equipment, ...

Battery firm Sila Nanotechnologies has claimed it can boost EV range up to 20% with its silicon anode tech. But silicon can also expand and contract significantly as it absorbs and dissipates lithium.

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are widely used in consumer electronics, electric vehicles, and renewable energy systems, making ...

Each battery is a densely packed collection of hundreds, even thousands, of slightly mushy lithium-ion electrochemical cells, usually shaped like cylinders or pouches. Each cell consists of a ...

So in this article, let’s take a quick look at the lithium-ion battery alternatives on the horizon. But first, let’s recap how modern batteries work and the many problems plaguing the technology.

OAK RIDGE, Tenn. — A new type of battery is in the works in Oak Ridge. BioLargo Energy Technologies is working to create a battery that could replace the lithium-ion battery. It said the ...
