Solid-state battery technology is moving closer to commercialization as Geely Auto, the parent company of Volvo, accelerates ...

In a bid to make lithium-ion batteries safer, cleaner, and easier to recycle, scientists at the Institute of Science Tokyo have developed a novel quasi-solid electrolyte. The material, dubbed 3D-SLISE ...

A battery electrolyte that is solid at normal temperatures yet still conducts ions could make lithium batteries safer and longer lasting by replacing flammable liquids.

Solid-state batteries are widely viewed as a key technology for the future of energy storage, particularly for electric ...

Lithium-ion batteries are used in smartphones, laptops, electric cars, and stationary energy storage systems. Although their ...

Solid-state batteries could store more energy and charge faster than today’s batteries, but they tend to crack and fail over ...

A solid—rather than liquid—electrolyte between the opposite electrodes of a battery should, in theory, enable a rechargeable ...

In a newly published study, we describe our design for a self-extinguishing rechargeable battery. It replaces the most commonly used electrolyte, which is highly combustible—a medium composed of a ...

Battery fires are rare, but when they happen, they require enormous amounts of firefighting resources. The problem is caused by the flammable electrolyte, which can generate its own oxygen in a ...
