German researchers have developed a new roll-to-roll production process to make lithium batteries safer with better energy density. Fraunhofer FEP has developed this process for a new type of ...

The vast majority of consumer electronics use lithium-ion batteries, and with each generation, these devices are designed smaller, lighter and with longer battery life to meet the growing demands of ...

Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery fires may be rare, but when they do happen the combustion is ferocious. Battery OEMs and automakers alike, therefore, have vested interests in doing whatever is possible ...

Conventional batteries have anodes and cathodes, but a new design from the University of Chicago and the University of California San Diego lacks an anode. While this has been done before, according ...

When it comes to pushing the limits of lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, companies are investing the most in new materials and chemistries such as solid-state electrolytes and lithium-metal anodes, or ...
