A new anode-free battery design achieves record energy density using stabilized lithium metal, offering a path to longer EV ...

Engineers at MIT have developed a new battery design using common materials – aluminum, sulfur and salt. Not only is the battery low-cost, but it’s resistant to fire and failures, and can be charged ...

The lithium battery has long been the king of electronics. It powers everything from smartphones to self-driving cars — but it also has a serious problem with overheating and, at times, exploding.

One way scientists believe they could greatly improve on the performance of today’s lithium-ion batteries is by introducing lithium metal for use as the anode component. Described by researchers at ...

Battery startup Ion Energy Storage reveals that its anodeless solid-state battery design has achieved 800 cycles without volume change or compression. The battery developer will receive $20 million ...

Writer and occasional reluctant perpetrator of engine swaps, James O'Neil is a malaise era enthusiast and also fascinated by the many ways the auto industry has since recovered from those dark days. A ...

Faster charging and reduced weight are just some of the advantages of this prototype EV battery. While Stellantis is abandoning its plan to sell 100% EVs by 2030, the company certainly isn’t resting ...

Climate change and greenhouse gas emissions, together with the need for renewable energies and a more sustainable future, are pushing the global economy toward electrical mobility. To be successful, ...

Automotive batteries always have been treated as plug-and-play parts of a vehicle, but that approach no longer works in electric vehicles. In fact, the battery is now a differentiating factor, and it ...

As battery electric vehicle (BEV) ownership becomes more prevalent, addressing critical issues such as range anxiety and thermal management safety is essential. John Albaugh from Elkem Silicones ...

What is the definition of a "structural" battery? Materials used by the research team to create this innovative structural battery. Initial performance results of the battery. Having a physical ...

Electric vehicle (EV) battery development is hard, painstakingly slow work fraught with a multitude of design challenges, as my colleague Chuck Murray has so adeptly chronicled in the pages of Design ...
