Written by Kelly Zegers UPTON, NY — A team of researchers led by chemists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory has learned that an electrolyte additive … [continued]
Clues to Better Batteries — X-ray technique reveals irregularities and dead spots arise due to incomplete lithium stripping from anode during battery discharge. UPTON, NY — Pure lithium metal is a promising replacement for the graphite-based anodes currently used in electric vehicle batteries. It could tremendously reduce battery weights and … [continued]
A hot market is growing for solid-state batteries that function efficiently at room temperature, as demonstrated by a new $200 million round of Series D funding for the US energy storage startup Factorial Energy.
US researchers spark new electric vehicle battery battle with breakthrough on reversible lithium metal energy storage technology.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced the selection of 13 projects through a Battery Manufacturing Lab Call with combined funding of almost $15 million over three years. The call sought proposals from the National Laboratories to establish public-private partnerships that address engineering challenges for advanced battery materials and devices, with a focus on de-risking, scaling, and accelerating adoption of new technologies.
