U.S. scientists used density functional theory to reveal how sodium ions are stored in nanoporous carbon anodes for ...

A new and compact device configuration was created with two interpenetrated, individually addressable electrodes, allowing precise control over the geometric features and interactions between the ...

Researchers at the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST) have focused on polymeric binders to enhance the performance and stability of electrodes in Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs).

As lithium-ion batteries are increasingly deployed in electric vehicles, aviation, and energy systems operating ...

A new scientific review outlines how a little understood class of battery materials could help deliver safer, higher energy lithium ion batteries while reducing reliance on critical metals such as ...

However, Li-ion batteries face performance and longevity challenges. Capacity loss stems from side reactions at the electrode–electrolyte interface, reducing cycle life. Thermal instability and ...

A research team has developed a new technique to image grain boundaries obstructing lithium-ion migration in solid-state batteries -- a promising type of next-generation battery. A NIMS research team ...

The key parts of a lithium-ion battery include the separator, anode, cathode, electrolyte, and current collectors. The anode, which stores lithium ions during battery charging, is usually composed of ...
