Solid-state batteries could store more energy and charge faster than today’s batteries, but they tend to crack and fail over ...

Researchers from the School of Engineering at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have pioneered a ...

A solid—rather than liquid—electrolyte between the opposite electrodes of a battery should, in theory, enable a rechargeable ...

A solid – rather than liquid – electrolyte between the opposite electrodes of a battery should, in theory, enable a ...

Stanford University has addressed the brittleness problem of electrolytes in solid-state battery technology. The ...

Crucially, the silver remained in its positively charged ionic form rather than becoming metallic again. The researchers ...

A South Korean research team has achieved a volumetric energy density of 1,270 Wh/l using an anode-free lithium-metal battery ...

Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have achieved a breakthrough on the path to practical application of lithium metal all-solid-state batteries—the next generation of batteries that can ...

Lithium metal, a soft solid, that can be cut with a knife, is far too reactive to be found in its natural (metallic) form. This is because it belongs to the Group 1 element (alkali metals) on the ...

Many consider lithium metal to be the most crucial material for negative electrodes in lithium-based batteries. This is because it has an extremely high capacity to store energy—3,860 mAh g −1 —which ...
