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 […]
A simple, highly efficient, inexpensive, and environmentally friendly process could provide a viable pathway for the sustainable recycling of depleted lithium-ion batteries (LIBs): No chemicals beyond citric acid need to be added to leach out and separate over 99% of the lithium, nickel, cobalt, and manganese metals contained in NCM batteries. A simple, highly efficient, […]
Flooding from hurricanes Helene and Milton inflicted billions of dollars in damage across the Southeast in September and October 2024, pushing buildings off their foundations and undercutting roads and bridges. It also caused dozens of electric vehicles and other battery-powered objects, such as scooters and golf carts, to catch fire. According to one tally, 11 electric cars and […]
The process involves mechanically kneading lithium foil and LLZO particles. The LLZO particles are placed on top of the lithium foil, which is then folded in half and pressed flat using a roll press. This folding and pressing cycle is repeated multiple times (the research team repeated it 30 times) to create a composite material […]
There are five common safety standards for lithium-ion batteries: IEC62133 UN38.3 IEC62619 UL1642 UL2580 IEC62133 is a safety test standard for lithium-ion cells and batteries. It is a safety requirement for testing secondary cells and batteries containing alkaline or non-acid electrolytes. It is used to test LIBs used in portable electronics and other […]
