Scientists have demonstrated a new electrode material that could facilitate much faster charging for lithium batteries, and one that forms in a rather unusual way. The material actually adopts the optimal configuration of atoms through the charging pro… Continue reading Battery electrode transforms during use for faster charging
Need some kind of battery for a project? You can always find a few Lithium-Ion (LiIon) batteries around! They’re in our phones, laptops, and a myriad other battery-powered things of …read more Continue reading Lithium-Ion Batteries Are Your Friends
Geely’s electric brand Zeekr has teamed up with Chinese battery giant CATL on an ultra-long-range version of its Zeekr 001 shooting brake, resulting in a production electric car capable of doing more than 1,000 km (621 miles) on a single charge.Continu… Continue reading Zeekr goes to production on 1,000-km electric car using CATL batteries

Massive lithium batteries may have a part to play in grid-scale storage of renewable energy, as we’re seeing with the giant Tesla battery in South Australia. But they can also be mighty expensive to set up and carry the risk of fire, as we’re seeing wi… Continue reading Zinc battery made with crab shells safely degrades and recycles
For those unfamiliar with the sport of mountain biking, it’s a wild hobby that is rife with hacking. It started in the early 70s when the first dedicated mountain bikers …read more Continue reading $800 Mountain Bike Seat Post Chopped In Two
Scientists at South Korea’s National Research Council of Science & Technology have demonstrated a promising new battery architecture, and one that could lead to big improvements in capacity and charge times. The breakthrough stems from a new design for… Continue reading Lithium metal battery charges fast by stowing ions in a hollow core
Engineers at MIT have developed a new battery design using common materials – aluminum, sulfur and salt. Not only is the battery low-cost, but it’s resistant to fire and failures, and can be charged very fast, which could make it useful for powering a … Continue reading Battery made of aluminum, sulfur and salt proves fast, safe and low-cost
Of the many different designs being explored by scientists in pursuit of better batteries, lithium-metal is an architecture that holds great potential. One problem holding the technology back, however, is the formation of tentacle-like growths called d… Continue reading Powder brushed onto electrodes brings high-capacity batteries closer
Steve Martin had a comedy routine that focused on the idea of “getting small.” That probably didn’t inspire the researchers at the Institute for Integrative Nanoscience when they set out …read more Continue reading Batteries Get Tiny
