Lithium-sulfur batteries can potentially store five to 10 times more energy than current state-of-the-art lithium-ion batteries at much lower cost.

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 ...

Lithium-ion batteries ignite due to battery defects or overheating, Kerber explained. The complications create an "unstoppable chemical reaction" known as "thermal runaway." ...

There seem to be more and more fires started by lithium ion batteries, with videos of the fires spectacular and frightening. The I-Team’s Chris Glorioso and Telemundo 47 took one of the battery ...

Lithium-ion battery fires caused at least 20 deaths and more than 300 injuries in New York City and San Francisco since 2019 Injuries and deaths from lithium-ion battery fires are trending higher.

The dangers of lithium-ion about which the public has been so repetitiously warned, are almost exclusively the dangers of NMC. A very low thermal runaway temperature reached in many real-world ...

That’s right, average li-ion NMC lifetimes and safety are decreasing. By contrast, the second dominant cathode type is lithium iron-phosphate, also known as LiFePO 4 or lithium ferro-phosphate.

A lithium-ion battery uses cobalt at the anode, which has proven difficult to source. Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries could remedy this problem by using sulfur as the cathodic material instead.

Lithium-ion batteries are currently the most energy dense batteries we have on the market. Energy density is the amount of energy you're able to store in a given amount of space.

All lithium-ion batteries use flammable materials, and incidents such as the one in the Bronx are likely the result of "thermal runaway," a chain reaction which can lead to a fire or catastrophic ...
