New Battery Tech Reduces Lithium Ion Battery Fires
December 5, 2023 | Leave a Comment
University of Maryland researchers studying how lithium batteries fail have developed a new technology that could enable next-generation electric vehicles (EVs) and other devices that are less prone to battery fires while increasing energy storage. The innovative method described in a paper published in the journal Nature, suppresses the growth of lithium dendrites – damaging […]

Metal Nanoclusters For Stable Lithium Sulfur Batteries
November 29, 2023 | Leave a Comment
Tokyo University of Science researchers have developed a graphene separator embedded with platinum-doped gold nanoclusters for lithium sulfur batteries. But issues like formation of lithium polysulfides and lithium dendrites lead to capacity loss and raise safety concerns. Yet lithium sulfur batteries (LSBs) offer a higher energy storage potential and with the new separator have enhanced […]

Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… The so-called ‘solid-state batteries‘ are considered one of the ‘Holy Grails’ of battery research. The Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research has reported important progress. The team’s research paper has been published in the journal Nature Communications. Solid-state batteries no longer have a liquid core, as is the case with today’s batteries, but consist […]

A Little Asphalt Makes a Better Lithium Ion Battery
October 4, 2017 | 3 Comments
Rice University scientists have found a touch of asphalt may be the secret to high-capacity lithium batteries that charge up to 20 times faster than commercial lithium-ion batteries. Chemist James Tour’s lab at Rice University developed anodes comprising porous carbon made from asphalt that showed exceptional stability after more than 500 charge-discharge cycles. A high-current […]
