While on the face of it, the lithium-batteries that power electric vehicles play an important role in our ongoing shift to sustainable transport, they aren’t without environmental problems of their own. Batteries that use organic, readily available mat… Continue reading Organic-based EV battery turns to ethanol for a boost in energy density
Scientists at Harvard University have come up with a promising new design for an experimental battery, one which they say could lead to electric cars that charge in as little as 10 minutes. The alternative architecture is also claimed to offer a far lo… Continue reading Sandwich-style battery could charge EVs in as little as 10 minutes
One of the many potential pathways that could lead us to next-gen energy storage for smartphones, laptops and electric vehicles is the use of a solid-state electrolyte, in place of the liquid electrolytes used in today’s lithium batteries. A research t… Continue reading Tooth-filling-like material keeps double-density lithium battery stable
In this world overflowing with data and content, external solid state drives are becoming more and more necessary.
