Scientists have developed a new cathode coating by using an oxidative chemical vapor deposition technique. The new coating can keep a battery's cathode electrically and ionically conductive and ...

Despite seemingly-endless advances in experimental battery designs, good old lithium-ion batteries continue to be the frontrunner. There’s still plenty of room for improvement though, and now ...

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energies Argonne National Laboratory have been working with Hong Kong University of Science and Technology to develop a new particle-level cathode coating for ...

If lithium battery-powered electric vehicles replaced the majority of gasoline-powered vehicles, greenhouse gas emissions would likely be reduced by a substantial margin. Lithium also has the lowest ...

Scientists in South Korea have discovered an important design rule that could help future electric vehicle batteries last ...

Sulfide-based all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs), which use a solid electrolyte instead of a liquid one, are emerging as a ...

Among the biggest complaints inhibiting growth in the electric vehicle market is the limited lifespan and range of lithium-ion batteries. Consumers fear being stranded far from home with long wait ...

The Limiting Factor reports that Tesla will use Polycrystal cathodes with new coatings and dopants to enable cobalt-free batteries with greater energy density and more charge cycles. This will be ...

Research and Markets currently project that the global market for Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries will reach US$91.8 billion by 2025; this will be driven by the use of the batteries in a wide range of ...

It’s always exciting to bring home a new smartphone that seems to do anything, but it can be all downhill from there. With every charge and discharge cycle, the device’s battery capacity lowers a ...
