Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Tohoku University researchers have recently developed a prototype calcium metal rechargeable battery capable of 500 cycles of repeated charge-discharge. Five hundred cycles is the benchmark for practical battery use. The breakthrough was made thanks to the development of a copper sulfide nanoparticle/carbon composite cathode and a hydride-based electrolyte. With the compulsive sales of electric […]

That will be key to meeting climate goals and unlocking the full potential of electric vehicles. So far the irreversible depletion of lithium ions in silicon anodes puts a major constraint on the development of next-generation lithium-ion batteries. For an […]

Texas A&M University chemical engineers have discovered a 1,000% difference in the storage capacity of metal-free, water-based battery electrodes. Chemical engineering professor Dr. Jodie Lutkenhaus and chemistry assistant professor Dr. Daniel Tabor have published their findings about lithium-free batteries in Nature Materials. Water based or aqueous batteries are different from lithium-ion batteries that contain cobalt. […]
