Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery technology has historically been the power cell of choice, especially given that we’re always all looking to maximize our smartphone’s battery life. However, many modern ...

A research team affiliated with UNIST has demonstrated a simple yet effective method to extend the lifespan of all-solid-state batteries—by simply stretching film-shaped electrolytes to improve safety ...

Lithium or Li-ion batteries are cheap, easy to use and recharge. There is actually no difference between Lithium Ion and Lithium Ion Polymer. The advantage of the Li-ion is that the size is smaller, ...

A team of A*STAR scientists has successfully upcycled waste polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic into polymer electrolytes, which are key components for safer lithium-ion batteries (LiBs). The ...

When you think of a battery, you probably don’t think stretchy. But batteries will need this shape-shifting quality to be incorporated into flexible electronics, which are gaining traction for ...

Lithium-ion batteries, along with fuel cells and supercapacitors, are one of the key technologies driving the electrification of society and industry and overcoming the environmental damage of fossil ...

Scientists create a stretchable solid-state battery, paving way towards safer electric vehicle batteries and flexible ...

Batteries were once heavy, awkward things, delivering only a limp amount of current for their size and weight. Thankfully, over time, technology has improved, and in 2020, we’re blessed with capable, ...

Researchers at the University of Hong Kong have discovered a series of anionic network solid electrolytes that can deliver at least a fourfold improvement in cationic transport for lithium-metal ...
