Zinc-based batteries offer a lower-cost, fire-proof alternative to widely used lithium-ion batteries. However, this energy ...

Despite breakthroughs from QuantumScape and CATL, mass-market solid-state batteries are still years away. Learn why ...

Solid-state batteries offer many advantages over their counterparts that use liquid electrolytes. They are inherently safe, thanks to the fact that the electrolyte is not flammable, and they can store ...

Solid-state Li-ion batteries are considered the next big thing for electric vehicles, but they form mysterious, branch-like metallic filaments, called dendrites, that can quickly compromise them. MIT ...

In materials science and electrochemistry, dendrites are branching, tree-like crystal structures that form when atoms or ions deposit on a surface under non-equilibrium conditions. The term derives ...

Sodium batteries, an increasingly competitive area of research, have emerged as a low-cost, lithium-free energy storage alternative based on abundant, more environmentally friendly materials. A pair ...

Scientists in India fabricated a redox flow battery based on zinc and iron that showed strong storage characteristics and no signs of degradation over 30 charge-discharge cycles. The battery also ...

Dr. Jung-Je Woo from the Gwangju Clean Energy Research Center at the Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER), along with Professor Jaephil Cho's research team from Ulsan National Institute of ...

In a breakthrough, researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and their collaborators have discovered how next-generation solid-state batteries fail and devised a novel strategy to make ...

In a recent study published in Small, researchers introduced a three-dimensional, freestanding porous carbon nanofiber (PCNF) structure embedded with silicon oxide (SiOx), designed to address critical ...
