Silicon is an attractive negative electrode (anode) material for future lithium-ion batteries because it can store much more ...

The demand for “post-lithium-ion batteries” has increased significantly due to the recent growth in grid energy storage and electric transportation systems. Among the post-lithium-ion battery ...

Honda Motor has been granted a patent for a negative electrode design for nonaqueous electrolyte secondary batteries. The electrode features a porous metal current collector that absorbs expansion and ...

Metals are typically used as active materials for negative electrodes in batteries. Recently, redox-active organic molecules, such as quinone- and amine-based molecules, have been used as negative ...

Sodium- and potassium-ion batteries are promising next-generation alternatives to the ubiquitous lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, their energy density still lags behind that of LIBs. To tackle ...

A team at Germany's Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Technologies and Systems (IKTS) has developed a new type of sodium-ion ...

A team of researchers has discovered a new mechanism to stabilize the lithium metal electrode and electrolyte in lithium metal batteries. This new mechanism, which does not depend on the traditional ...

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) dominate the rechargeable battery landscape, finding extensive applications in consumer electronics, electric vehicles e.g., Tesla cars, renewable energy systems, and ...
