Electric car charging becomes less efficient in colder weather, but a new strategy for manufacturing battery electrodes could speed things up.
Ever notice that batteries in electronics don’t last as long as they did when they were brand new? New research digs into why.
"We need to move to green energy, but there are safety concerns associated with lithium-ion batteries." New research could help change that.
The manufacturing and disposal of lithium ion batteries is a large and growing source of pollution from a sub-class of "forever chemicals."
A new process can retrieve as much as 50% of the lithium in spent lithium-ion battery cathodes in as little as 30 seconds.
Fracking wastewater could be a new source of lithium, a key ingredient in batteries for everything from smartphones and electric cars.
Researchers used a robotic lab to mix unconventional ingredients in just the right order to make complex materials for batteries.
A sensor that uses energy from sound waves to control electronic devices could, one day, save millions of batteries.
Researchers say the key to making batteries last longer may come from a mundane source: the way soap works.
Cracks in lithium-ion batteries actually speed up electric vehicle charging. This runs counter to the view of many EV manufacturers.
