They published their work on Jan. 10 in Energy Material Advances. “Energy storage technologies represented by rechargeable batteries are regarded as an indispensable part of the modern energy system ...

A fully graphite-free silicon anode has shown stable performance at high temperatures, potentially paving the way for wider applications.

Corrosion is a chemical reaction to which even the strongest structures fall victim. Metals such as steel react with oxygen and water, going on to rust and decay. Cathodic protection plays a key role ...

Tesla 4680s have had slower ramping because of problems with the Cathode needing a wet process and cathodes made by other companies. Auto experts Munro Associates have taken apart a cybertruck and ...

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 ...

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 ...

IN THEir QUEST to build a better battery, researchers have blazed a trail through the elements of the periodic table. The earliest prototype cells ran on nickel and cadmium; successors have used ...

Anode – Typically made of reactive materials like lithium or zinc, the anode undergoes oxidation, releasing electrons. Cathode – A material capable of accepting electrons, the cathode undergoes ...

Lithium-ion batteries are the most popular secondary batteries for these applications, and silicon is widely regarded as the best anode material for lithium-ion batteries, particularly solid-state ...
