MIT chemists developed a battery cathode based on organic materials, which could reduce the EV industry’s reliance on scarce metals.

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.

Careful planning of charging station placement could lessen or eliminate the need for new power plants, a new study shows.

MIT chemists found a way to cut the carbon footprint of producing white phosphorus, an ingredient in many consumer products.

An MIT team is working to harness combustion to yield valuable materials, including some that are critical in the manufacture of lithium-ion batteries.

Battery power from electric vehicles to the grid could open a fast lane to a net-zero future.

Branchlike metallic filaments can sap the power of solid-state lithium batteries. A new study explains how they form and how to divert them.

Made from inexpensive, abundant materials, an aluminum-sulfur battery could provide low-cost backup storage for renewable energy sources.

MIT Energy Initiative report supports energy storage paired with renewable energy to achieve clean energy grids.
