A joint research team from Tohoku University and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) has made a significant advancement towards high-voltage metal-free lithium-ion batteries that use a small organic molecule, croconic acid. The breakthrough moves us closer to realizing metal-free, high-energy, and inexpensive lithium-ion batteries. Unlike conventional lithium-ion batteries, … [continued]
In March, Enovix which designs and manufactures 3D Silicon™ lithium-ion batteries, announced its latest development, BrakeFlow™ (BrakeFlow). The new BrakeFlow technology is an intra-cell system that increases tolerance against thermal runaway from internal shorts without compromising high energy density, the company said in a press release. The company noted that … [continued]
Industry and Labor will Partner on Five Pilot Programs to Train Battery Manufacturing Workers and Bolster the Domestic Battery Supply Chain WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), in coordination with the U.S. Department of Labor and the AFL-CIO, today announced the launch of a national workforce development … [continued]
With the transition to electric vehicles (EVs), demand for materials used to produce batteries is expected to increase dramatically. Aside from the lithium needed to produce modern lithium-ion batteries, much attention is focused on the cost of the materials used for EV battery cathode production. Cobalt is an important ingredient … [continued]
Freyr Battery says it has received an order for 31 GWh of lithium ion batteries. But the customer is not a vehicle manufacturer.
Researchers in Singapore say they have devised a way to control dendrites in lithium-ion batteries.
Lithium-ion batteries are the most common battery in consumer electronics. They are used in everything from cellphones to power tools to electric cars and more. However, they have well defined characteristics that cause them to wear out, and understanding these characteristics can help you to double the life of your … [continued]
