A Solution Found For Lithium Ion Dendrite Formation
July 21, 2020 | Leave a Comment
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory researchers have developed a new material for the battery anode. The material could enable long-range electric vehicles that can drive for hundreds of miles on a single charge, and electric planes called eVTOLs for fast, environmentally friendly commutes. In the pursuit of a rechargeable battery that can power electric vehicles (EVs) […]

A Safer Higher Voltage Lithium Ion Battery Chemistry
April 15, 2020 | 3 Comments
University of Tokyo researchers, who explore the physical and chemical properties of electrical energy storage, have found a new way to improve lithium-ion batteries. They successfully increased not only the voltage delivery of a lithium-ion battery but also its ability to suppress dangerous conditions that affect the current range of batteries. This improved lithium-ion battery […]

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 […]
