Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have achieved a breakthrough on the path to practical application of lithium ...

Solid-state batteries offer many advantages over their counterparts that use liquid electrolytes. They are inherently safe, thanks to the fact that the electrolyte is not flammable, and they can store ...

Solid-state Li-ion batteries are considered the next big thing for electric vehicles, but they form mysterious, branch-like metallic filaments, called dendrites, that can quickly compromise them. MIT ...

This study is led by Prof. Chuan Wu. Serving as one of the most promising candidates among multivalent metal batteries, rechargeable aluminum batteries (RABs) are endowed with various advantages ...

Battery dendrites are not caused by electrical origins, but instead have mechanical sources. The dendrites propagate due to fracture of the electrolyte and subsequent crack filling-in. Stresses on the ...

Scientists in India fabricated a redox flow battery based on zinc and iron that showed strong storage characteristics and no signs of degradation over 30 charge-discharge cycles. The battery also ...

Dr. Jung-Je Woo from the Gwangju Clean Energy Research Center at the Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER), along with Professor Jaephil Cho's research team from Ulsan National Institute of ...

In a recent study published in Small, researchers introduced a three-dimensional, freestanding porous carbon nanofiber (PCNF) structure embedded with silicon oxide (SiOx), designed to address critical ...

Scientists in the UK used the latest imaging techniques to visualize and understand the process of dendrite formation and electrolyte cracking in an all solid-state battery. With new insight into the ...

A new approach could help solve the longstanding problem of dendrite formation, which has hampered the development of new solid-state lithium-ion batteries. As researchers push the boundaries of ...
