Many consider lithium metal to be the most crucial material for negative electrodes in lithium-based batteries. This is because it has an extremely high capacity to store energy—3,860 mAh g −1 —which ...

A solid—rather than liquid—electrolyte between the opposite electrodes of a battery should, in theory, enable a rechargeable ...

Stanford University has addressed the brittleness problem of electrolytes in solid-state battery technology. The ...

Crucially, the silver remained in its positively charged ionic form rather than becoming metallic again. The researchers ...

As a result, analysts increasingly expect the lithium market to move from surplus toward deficit starting in 2026. That shift is already improving sentiment around pricing, with forecasts calling for ...

Lithium-air batteries, known for their potential to store far more energy than conventional lithium-ion batteries, have struggled with practical challenges like short lifespans and theoretical ...

Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have achieved a breakthrough on the path to practical application of lithium ...

Scientists at ETH Zurich have drastically lowered the quantity of fluorine—which is bad for the environment—needed to stabilize batteries. By developing a new electrolyte design for lithium metal ...

Acquisition is expected to provide safer, lower cost and more sustainable process pathways for lithium metal production using various grades of lithium carbonate The views and opinions expressed ...

How do batteries achieve extreme fast charging? While lithium-ion batteries power everything from smartphones to electric vehicles, their widespread adoption is hampered by a critical limitation: slow ...

Lithium-metal batteries are a promising technology, but they are still years away from making the leap from the lab to the production line. CATL announced a breakthrough that allowed it to double the ...
