The new technique has revealed several phenomena that were previously impossible to see, including variations in the rate of lithium intercalation reactions in different regions of a lithium iron ...

Researchers now have a clearer picture of the chemical mechanisms underlying lithium-ion batteries—and it could lead to faster, more efficient batteries for electric vehicles, portable electronics, ...

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 ...

Despite their widespread use, many aspects of lithium-ion battery design have been based on trial and error, with a limited understanding of the underlying physical and chemical processes. A recent ...

An innovative approach in battery technology, known as carrier pre-intercalation, is revolutionizing post-lithium batteries by enhancing electrode materials' electrochemical performance. This method ...

Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), an emerging class of materials that can be used as semiconductors and insulators, have promising potential in various applications due to ...

A research team at the University of Manchester has made a significant breakthrough in understanding lithium-ion storage within the thinnest possible battery anode, composed of just two layers of ...

IDTechEx Technology Analyst Daniel Parr concludes, "Demand for LFP and LMFP is forecast to reach 2683 GWh by 2036, while demand for high and ultra-high nickel NMC/NCA/NMCA will reach 2207 GWh." ...
