Lithium-polymer battery technology is newer than lithium-ion. It didn’t appear on the scene until the 1970s and has only made its way into smartphones much more recently.

A team led by molecular chemist Ying Zhang from the Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of Chemistry recently developed a ...

Lithium metal batteries promise far more energy storage than current lithium-ion cells. They can deliver up to ten times the energy, making them ideal for electric vehicles, medical devices, and ...

1.0 PURPOSE The purpose of this guideline is to provide users of lithium-ion (Li-ion) and lithium polymer (LiPo) cells and battery packs with comprehensive information to safely handle them under ...

Lithium-iron-phosphate batteries feature a wider temperature range, between -4 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit, compared to the typical operating range of 32 to 113 degrees Fahrenheit in lithium-ion ...

While efforts to mitigate the lithium-ion risks being undertaken are worthwhile, we think that the answer is a better, safer battery. After the New York City e-bike ban was lifted in 2018, micro ...

‘If it goes up, get out’: What you need to know about lithium-ion battery fires by: Duncan MacLean Posted: Jun 11, 2025 / 08:18 PM EDT Updated: Jun 12, 2025 / 05:44 AM EDT ...

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.

Silicon has up to ten times the lithium capacity of graphite (3600 mAh/g versus 372 mAh/g) - the current dominant material used - making it a much more alluring prospect for battery performance.
