Collaborate Disseminate
One particularly promising architecture for next-generation batteries uses pure lithium-metal, a material with excellent energy density that could see electric vehicles travel many times farther on each charge. A research group in the US has taken a si… Continue reading Lithium strips take next-gen battery into record-breaking territory
By substituting graphite for high-density pure lithium metal, scientists may be able to dramatically improve the performance of battery technology, but there are hurdles still to overcome. Scientists at Germany’s Friedrich Schiller University in Jena h… Continue reading Porous membrane saves high-density lithium metal batteries from failure
With the rise of the lithium-based battery, demand for this soft, silvery-white metal – the lightest solid element in the periodic table – has exploded. With the race to zero carbon by 2050 gathering steam, forcing the electrification of transport, lit… Continue reading New tech cheaply produces lithium and H2, while desalinating seawater
Scientists in South Korea have made a breakthrough in battery research that could help us bust through a key bottleneck in energy storage. The team’s advance overcomes a technical issue that has held back highly promising lithium-metal battery architec… Continue reading Ultra-thin lithium offers a solid platform for high-capacity batteries
