Sodium is a cheap and viable alternative to lithium in batteries for low-medium range EVs.

Lithium-ion batteries power many electric cars, bikes and scooters. When they are damaged or overheated, they can ignite or explode. Four engineers explain how to handle these devices safely.

In a first, researchers have observed how lithium ions flow through a battery interface, which could help engineers optimize the material’s design.

The findings, based on a single electrochemical process, could help cut emissions from the hardest-to-decarbonize industries, such as steel and cement.

Cracks in lithium-ion batteries actually speed up electric vehicle charging. This runs counter to the view of many EV manufacturers.

University of Cambridge researchers have been awarded Proof of Concept grants from the European Research Council (ERC), to help them explore the commercial or

Scientists have made a breakthrough in understanding and overcoming the challenges associated with nickel-rich materials used in lithium-ion batteries.

For now, phosphate rock mining is dominated by China and Morocco.

Illinois passed the latest law requiring new apartment buildings to be wired for EV chargers. Now apartment communities are figuring out the best ways to make shared charging work for everyone.
