China’s Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, part of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has reported research on a pre-lithiation battery design strategy that retained about 80% of capacity at −40°C ...

Lithium-ion batteries have become the quiet workhorses of the energy transition, but the way they are designed and tested has ...

Lithium. While it’s not quite “the Spice” of Dune, the silvery, reactive metal is an extraordinarily valuable means for storing electricity, meaning it’s a key tool for transitioning from ...

Batteries used in smartphones or in EVs normally charge for 10 hours on their first cycle, but turbo-charging them to 100% capacity in 20 minutes may lead to a 50% longer lifespan. When you purchase ...
