Redox-active metal-organic framework developed for Li batteries in freezing conditions

The Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) has developed a redox-active metal-organic hybrid electrode material (SKIER-5) for Li batteries that remains stable in cold conditions as low as minus 20 degrees Celsius. By addressing the limitations of graphite as an anode material of conventional Li batteries under freezing conditions, SKIER-5 has the potential to be […]

Differences between ICR, INR, and IFR 18650 batteries

Chemical Composition IMR: Lithium Manganese Oxide (LiMn2O4). ICR: Lithium Cobalt Oxide (LiCoO2). INR: Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide. IFR: Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4).   Performance Characteristics IMR: Known for lower internal resistance, enabling higher discharge rates suitable for high-drain devices. ICR: Offers high capacity but raises safety concerns due to potential overheating during high-drain scenarios. […]

Engineers develop advanced solid-state electrolytes for high-performance all-solid-state lithium metal batteries

Researchers at the School of Engineering of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have recently developed a new generation of solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) for lithium-metal batteries (LMBs), that can greatly improve safety and performance. This discovery can help advance the development of energy storage technologies for battery applications like electric vehicles, portable […]

Sodium-ion batteries are set to spark a renewable energy revolution

The extent to which renewables should dominate Australia’s energy grids is a major issue in science and politics. Solar and wind are clearly now the cheapest form of electricity. But limits to these technologies can undermine the case for a renewables-only electricity mix. The challenges posed by solar and wind generators are real. They are […]

Engineers develop safe and long-cyclable lithium metal battery for high temperatures

In recent years, batteries have become ubiquitous in consumers’ daily lives. However, existing commercial battery technologies, which use liquid electrolytes and carbonaceous anodes, have certain drawbacks such as safety concerns, limited lifespan, and inadequate power density particularly at high temperatures. Yet, there is an increasing need for batteries that can operate in extreme conditions, such […]

Creating loops of liquid lithium for fusion temperature control

Fusion vessels have a Goldilocks problem: The plasma within needs to be hot enough to generate net power, but if it’s too hot, it can damage the vessel’s interior. Researchers at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) are exploring ways to draw away excess heat, including several methods that use liquid metal. One possibility, say […]
