The researchers tested their hunch by dissolving PFAS in the electrolyte solution of a lithium-containing electrochemical ...

But soon, prices crashed back down to earth. We saw lower-than-expected demand for EVs in the US, and developers ramped up mining and processing to meet demand. Through late 2024 and 2025, lithium ...

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

Swiss scientists develop safer and longer-lasting batteries, reducing explosions and tripling their useful life.

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

Researchers from the School of Engineering at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have pioneered a ...

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

Lithium metal, a soft solid, that can be cut with a knife, is far too reactive to be found in its natural (metallic) form. This is because it belongs to the Group 1 element (alkali metals) on the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
