Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery technology has historically been the power cell of choice, especially given that we’re always all looking to maximize our smartphone’s battery life. However, many modern ...

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 common concern about EVs is the fate of their battery packs once their operational lives conclude. While a landfill may be the first idea brought to mind, several companies are currently working to ...

Lithium sulfur batteries are often touted as the next major chemistry for electric vehicle applications, if only their cycle life wasn’t so short. But that might be changing soon, as a group of ...

A research team has succeeded in developing a non-flammable gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) that is set to revolutionize the safety of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) by mitigating the risks of thermal ...

A worker guides a red mechanical claw toward a battery on a conveyor belt. In North America, many battery recyclers are opening plants, such as this Li-Cycle battery shredding facility, near planned ...

A study published in Advanced Materials reports that Chengcheng Fang, an assistant professor in the College of Engineering, and Mojgan Nejad, an associate professor in the College of Agriculture and ...
