5 New Battery Technologies That Will Change the Future

Your phone is about to go dead—again—and you can’t find a place to plug it in. Your laptop is getting hot…is the battery about to catch on fire? How far from home should you drive your electric vehicle? As scenarios like these become increasingly common, it’s clear that we need batteries that store more, last […]

Researchers develop sodium battery capable of rapid charging in just a few seconds

Sodium (Na), which is over 500 times more abundant than lithium (Li), has recently garnered significant attention for its potential in sodium-ion battery technologies. However, existing sodium battery face fundamental limitations, including lower power output, constrained storage properties, and longer charging times, necessitating the development of next-generation energy storage materials. A research team led by Professor […]

How do I choose an RV battery?

Recreational Vehicle (RV) batteries/ lifepo4 battery are one of the most important things you take with you on the road when you travel. After all, they’re largely the reason that you get from Point A to Point B. Some essential benefits deep cycle lithium batteries have over lead-acid for your RV include: Less than half the […]

Discovery brings all-solid-state sodium batteries closer to practical use

The pursuit of greener energy also requires efficient rechargeable batteries to store that energy. While lithium-ion batteries are currently the most widely used, all-solid-state sodium batteries are attracting attention as sodium is far more plentiful than lithium. This should make  sodium battery less expensive, and solid-state batteries are thought to be safer, but processing issues […]

Solid-state batteries are popular again? Introduction to the differences between solid-state batteries and lithium-ion batteries

A solid-state battery is a battery that uses solid electrodes and solid electrolytes. Solid-state batteries generally have lower power density and higher energy density. Because solid-state batteries have a relatively high power-to-weight ratio, they are an ideal battery for electric vehicles. What is the difference between solid-state batteries and lithium ion battery? The main difference between solid-state […]

New materials discovered for safe, high-performance solid-state lithium-ion batteries

Scientists have discovered a stable and highly conductive lithium-ion conductor for use as solid electrolytes for solid-state lithium ion battery. All-solid-state lithium ion battery with solid electrolytes are non-flammable and have higher energy density and transference numbers than those with liquid electrolytes. They are expected to take a share of the market for conventional liquid electrolyte Li-ion […]

Safety standards for lithium battery charging and discharging operations

Environment: Lithium batterie charging and discharging operations need to be carried out in a ventilated environment with suitable temperature and humidity. This helps prevent adverse conditions such as overheating and humidity from affecting battery performance and safety. At the same time, the charging and discharging area should be far away from the core area, and […]
