However, design engineers face increased challenges to charge these batteries fast, accurately, and�most important�safely as battery capacities increase, but charge solutions need to occupy the ...

For as much capacity lithium-ion batteries have, their useful lifespan is generally measured in the hundreds of cycles. This degradation is caused by the electrodes themselves degrading, including the ...

Lithium. While it’s not quite “the Spice” of Dune, the silvery, reactive metal is an extraordinarily valuable means for ...

New research shows that the next generation of lithium-sulphur (Li||S) batteries may be capable of being charged in less than five minutes, instead of several hours as is currently the case. New ...

Lithium-ion batteries revolutionized the world when Sony brought them to the mass market in 1991. Compared to previous rechargeable battery technology, they were lighter, more energy-dense, last ...

Forward-looking: Despite being one of the most practical and effective technologies for storing and delivering electric energy, lithium-ion batteries have started to show their limits. Scientists are ...

Researchers at Australia's Monash University are close to solving one of the biggest challenges with eVTOL aircraft. The team's new lithium-sulfur battery tech is designed to deliver roughly twice the ...

An innovative new computational model developed by an engineer could lead to fast-charging lithium-ion batteries that are safer and longer-lasting. Fast-charging lithium-ion batteries are ubiquitous, ...

Wesley Chang is an assistant professor of mechanical engineering and mechanics at Drexel University. Rechargeable batteries are great for storing energy and powering electronics from smartphones to ...

The team developed a structural battery by depositing carbon nanotubes on quartz-woven fabrics with efficient charge ...
