To implement the commercialization of lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles and smart grid systems, further improvements are required, especially with respect to the energy/power density, ...

BERKELEY, CA -- For the first time researchers have used a transmission electron microscope -- the One Angstrom Microscope (OÅM) at the Department of Energy's National Center for Electron Microscopy ...

A research group at the University of Illinois has developed technology that may have lasting implications for electric vehicles (EVs) and other electronics. The group, led by Paul Braun, a professor ...

New research has identified a nanostructure that improves the anode in lithium-ion batteries. Instead of using graphite for the anode, the researchers turned to silicon: a material that stores more ...

Laser-based technologies have played their part in the refinement of lithium-ion batteries and enhancement of battery performance, such as the use of lasers to cut the electrodes used in the ...

High-nickel batteries, which are high-energy lithium-ion batteries primarily used in electric vehicles, offer high energy ...

(Nanowerk News) The microscale reentrant-honeycomb shaped, graphene-based electrode is characterized by an accordion-like structural stretchability. A stretchable gel electrolyte and stretchable ...

Breaking the graphite barrier Traditional lithium-ion batteries rely on graphite as an anode material. However, the same graphite structure fails when it comes to sodium or potassium. Their atoms are ...
