Scientists cook up a green recipe for recycling lithium-ion batteries using vegetable oil. Research led by Professor Andy Abbott and Dr. Jake Yang at the University of Leicester working under the Faraday Institution’s ReLiB project found an innovative way of recovering valuable battery-grade metal oxides from crushed batteries by using nanoemulsions created from a trace […]
A world-first technology has been developed by introducing a roll-to-roll compatible flash process into secondary battery electrode manufacturing, significantly suppressing the performance degradation of thick electrodes. The research is published in the journal Small Methods. The findings present a new possibility of reducing battery costs by minimizing inactive materials and simplifying the manufacturing process while increasing energy density and capacity, […]
In the race to meet the growing global demand for lithium—a critical component in batteries for electric vehicles—a team of researchers from Rice University’s Elimelech lab has developed a breakthrough lithium extraction method that could reshape the industry. In their study published in Science Advances, the researchers demonstrated near-perfect lithium selectivity by repurposing solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) as membrane materials for […]
Amid the global pursuit of next-generation secondary battery solutions to replace current lithium-ion technology, Korean researchers have pioneered a lithium composite material that dramatically enhances both safety and lifespan, achieving over three times longer durability compared to existing materials. The research team, led by Dr. Do-Yeob Kim from the Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology […]
Many of the devices that make modern life convenient and efficient rely on rechargeable batteries. Lithium-ion batteries, one of the more common types used, are low cost and work at a high operating voltage, which makes them ideal for many electronic devices and electric vehicles. However, they have recurring issues with declining performance over repeated […]
A research team from the University of Science and Technology of China has introduced a new chemical battery system which utilizes hydrogen gas as the anode. Their study is published in the Angewandte Chemie International Edition. Hydrogen (H2) has gained attention as a stable and cost-effective renewable energy carrier due to its favorable electrochemical properties. However, […]
Legions of battery engineers and their supporters have sought for years to build batteries cheaper than the dominant lithium-ion technology, hoping to capture some of lithium-ion’s $50 billion-a-year and growing market. The latest darling contender among researchers, startups, and venture capitalists—sodium-ion batteries—has received much attention after COVID-induced mineral supply chain challenges sent lithium prices on […]
Dr. Park Jun-woo’s team at KERI’s Next Generation Battery Research Center has overcome a major obstacle to the commercialization of next-generation lithium – sulfur batteries and successfully developed large-area, high-capacity prototypes. The work is published in the journal Advanced Science. The lithium–sulfur battery, composed of sulfur as the cathode (+) and lithium metal as the anode (-), has a theoretical […]
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed a way to use sound to detect when lithium-ion batteries are about to catch fire. The NIST team included Wai Cheong “Andy” Tam and Anthony Putorti. Lithium-ion batteries are all around us: They can be in your phone, in your laptop, in an […]
An international team of engineers and materials scientists has developed a lithium-sulfur battery capable of retaining 80% of its charge capacity after 25,000 cycles. Their paper is published in the journal Nature. To make batteries smaller and lighter, engineers continually look for new materials. Such efforts tend to focus on the electrodes where lithium is held by other […]
