Researchers at Tohoku University have unearthed a means to stabilize lithium or sodium depositions in rechargeable batteries, helping keep their metallic structure intact. The discovery prevents potential battery degradation and short circuiting, and paves the way for higher energy-density metal-anode batteries. Courtesy of Tohoku University Scientists are ever-seeking to develop … [continued]
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]
Lithium-ion holds the throne, but EV batteries could be poised for a magnesium makeover that leaves Li-ion behind in the dust.
Scientists at Japan’s Tohoku University say they have made important progress in the search for solid state batteries for tomorrow’s electric cars and battery storage needs.
Electric vehicles have grabbed the spotlight but the transportation sector is still going to need renewable fuel in liquid form, and plenty of it.
Researchers have finally worked out how to utilize rock salt Lithium Borohydride (LiBH4) as a battery material at normal atmospheric pressure and room temperature, according to recent reports. Specifically, they’ve discovered how to use the well-known material as lithium ion conductor. The advance — which could lead to a whole … [continued]
