The basic principle of all li-ion batteries is: li-ions on the run. In a fully charged battery cell, billions of lithium (Li) atoms are trapped in the “anode” porous reservoir, typically a thin sheet ...

Scientists have used a neat chemistry trick to tackle a major challenge facing future batteries. Their breakthrough paves the way for next-generation electric vehicle (EV) batteries capable of ...

Redwood Materials intends to set up some of the first U.S. plants producing anodes and cathodes for electric vehicle batteries. Redwood Materials, which recycles old lithium-ion batteries and makes ...

In developing a versatile new electrolyte, a team of University of Wisconsin–Madison engineers has taken the next step toward a more efficient, energy-dense battery that could supplant today's ...
