Researchers Show Feasibility Of Lithium-Metal Free Anode For Lithium-Air Batteries

  Researchers from the University of Rome Sapienza (Italy), Argonne National Laboratory (United States), and Hanyang University (South Korea) have shown that the construction of lithium-air batteries without lithium metal is possible. A lithiated silicon-carbon anode can be used instead. As is the case with many new technologies, there are drawbacks … [continued]

Air-Breathing Batteries: How Does Recharging Your Electric Car Only Monthly Sound?

IBM-led researchers have estimated that a recent battery technology under development could enable electric vehicles to travel 800 km (497 miles) per charge. This technology is a lithium-ion battery that utilizes air (partially) to generate electricity. The lithium-air battery was invented years ago, and researchers have been working on improving … [continued]
