Californian company Amprius has shipped the first batch of what it claims are the most energy-dense lithium batteries available today. These silicon anode cells hold 73 percent more energy than
At approximately half the weight and volume of state-of-the-art, commercially available lithium-ion cells, the all-new battery cell delivers potential industry-disrupting performance with barrier breaking discharge times.
The race is on to generate new technologies to ready the battery industry for the transition toward a future with more renewable energy.
The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2019 rewards the development of the lithium-ion battery. This lightweight, rechargeable and powerful battery is now used in everything from mobile phones to laptops and electric vehicles.
A good battery needs two things: high energy density for powering devices and stability so it can be safely and reliably recharged thousands of times. Over the past thirty years, lithium-ion batteries have reigned supreme — proving their performance in smartphones, laptops, and electric vehicles.
In 1980, John Goodenough doubled the battery''s potential, creating the right conditions for a vastly more powerful and useful battery. In 1985, Akira Yoshino succeeded in eliminating pure lithium from the battery, instead basing it wholly
Tesla isn''t saying precisely how many Powerpacks make up the giant battery, only that they''re counted in the hundreds; it packs 100 megawatts of power capable of energizing over 30,000 homes,
MIT researchers have identified an electrolyte that could be useful for next-generation lithium-ion batteries, increasing their power per weight without sacrificing the cycle life.
A few of the advanced battery technologies include silicon and lithium-metal anodes, solid-state electrolytes, advanced Li-ion designs, lithium-sulfur (Li-S), sodium-ion (Na-ion), redox flow
Organic rechargeable batteries have emerged as a promising alternative for sustainable energy storage as they exploit transition-metal-free active materials, namely redox-active organic
