Conventional batteries have anodes and cathodes, but a new design from the University of Chicago and the University of California San Diego lacks an anode. While this has been done before, according ...

I have been following Our Next Energy (ONE) as closely as possible after the company achieved something extraordinary. It made a Model S equipped with its Gemini battery pack run 752 miles (1,210 ...

Researchers from POSTECH and Sogang University developed a functional polymeric binder for stable, high-capacity anode material that could increase the current EV range at least 10-fold over current ...

Lithium-metal anode-free batteries promise higher energy density and longevity, but their biggest problem is the dendrites that form inside the battery and ruin it. QuantumScape claims it solved this ...

A lithium-ion battery may have fewer parts than a combustion engine, but it's no less complex. It involves an intricate interplay of materials that influences an electric vehicle’s range, charging ...

Silicon anodes are pushing lithium-ion batteries into a new performance class, with lab results pointing to energy storage gains that would have seemed unrealistic a decade ago. By replacing ...

Silicon anodes appear to be leading the way in the race to commercialize next-generation battery technologies for electric vehicles. The buzz around silicon-based anodes, which promise improved power ...

Materials science ain’t easy. And it’s especially difficult when it comes to the batteries that power our smart home, wearable, and mobile devices; more specifically, lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries.

From the beginning of the electrification evolution, the U.S. has struggled to keep up with the Chinese battery giants, and has also fallen behind Europe in some battery production and adoption areas.
