A new twist on bromine-based flow batteries could make large-scale energy storage cheaper, safer, and far longer-lasting. Bromine-based flow batteries store and release energy through a chemical ...

A cross-continental team from North China Electric Power University, TU Ilmenau and the University of Central Florida, led by professors Huajun Tian, Yong Lei and Yang Yang, has released a 34-page ...

Even with current limitations, practical Li–S pouch cells already demonstrate ~700 Wh/kg — almost three times the energy ...

As the push for higher-energy lithium-ion batteries accelerates, developing electrolytes that remain stable at high voltages ...

The freeze-out effect has been the primary barrier to developing solid-state batteries as powerful as their liquid-filled ...

Normally, when liquids solidify, their molecules become locked in place, making it much harder for ions to move and leading ...

Researchers at MIT have found a way to use existing manufacturing equipment to produce longer-life Li-ion batteries that deliver up to 60% more power than today's cells. What materials are used in the ...

Electric vehicles are colliding with a hard reality: lithium is expensive, supply chains are fragile, and safety concerns ...

Scientists have uncovered a root cause of the growth of needle-like structures -- known as dendrites and whiskers -- that plague lithium batteries, sometimes causing a short circuit, failure, or even ...

Electrolytes are chemicals naturally occurring in your body fluids. They include chloride, phosphate, potassium, sodium, and calcium. These are important for normal body functions and should be ...
