Nothing is certain except death, taxes — and the steady decline in the cost of clean energy technologies. That includes batteries. The average price of a lithium-ion battery pack fell 20 percent this ...

Lithium-ion batteries turned smartphones, laptops, and electric cars into everyday tools, but they also brought fire risk, ...

Researchers at Australia's Monash University are close to solving one of the biggest challenges with eVTOL aircraft. The team's new lithium-sulfur battery tech is designed to deliver roughly twice the ...

A new solid material developed at the University of Liverpool significantly speeds up the lithium-ion battery charging process. Fast-charging batteries have the potential to transform electric ...

Lithium. While it’s not quite “the Spice” of Dune, the silvery, reactive metal is an extraordinarily valuable means for storing electricity, meaning it’s a key tool for transitioning from ...

While lithium remains a lesser-known commodity compared to gold or silver, it has reentered the spotlight following a recent rebound in prices. As a critical input in lithium-ion batteries, the metal ...

Engineers report progress toward lithium-metal batteries that charge fast -- as fast as an hour. This fast charging is thanks to lithium metal crystals that can be seeded and grown -- quickly and ...

An innovative approach to battery materials could bring sodium-ion energy density and charging speeds far closer to those of ...
