Researchers at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) have discovered that adding inexpensive salts, such as zinc sulfate, to aqueous rechargeable batteries can dramatically extend their lifespan—by more…
Researchers at the University of Texas at Dallas have discovered that mixing microscopic particles of two different solid-state electrolytes creates a “space charge layer” at the interface—an accumulation of ions…
Korean researchers are developing a micro-nuclear battery powered by radioactive carbon, which generates electricity through beta radiation-induced electron avalanche. This innovative technology is designed to be both environmentally friendly and…
A research team at Rice University has developed a groundbreaking lithium extraction method to meet the world's growing demand for lithium, a critical component of electric vehicle batteries. This innovation…
A research team at the Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) in South Korea has developed a groundbreaking strategy to enhance the durability of lithium-rich layered oxide (LLO) materials.…
An international study has shown that the energy storage per unit mass of twisted carbon nanotubes is three times that of advanced lithium-ion batteries. This research was conducted by a…
Over time, battery capacity gradually decreases, which is why the battery life of old phones deteriorates. However, the mechanism behind this phenomenon has long remained incompletely understood. An international research team…
CATL (Contemporary Amperex Technology), the leading global electric vehicle battery manufacturer, solidified its dominance in China, capturing nearly 47% market share from January to July, a significant rebound after two…
Although sodium batteries, solid-state batteries, and anode-free batteries are individually known concepts, so far, no one has successfully combined these three concepts. Recently, a breakthrough has been achieved by a…
Scientists at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) have made significant progress in the development of sodium-ion batteries, addressing their inherent limitations and unlocking their potential as…
