A team of researchers has undertaken a study of the future of carbon anodes for lithium-ion batteries. Their review provides a comprehensive overview of the progression in carbon anode development and ...

Group14 Technologies, a Washington state based battery material startup founded in 2015, reports that its SCC55 silicon-carbon anode provides a significant 25% energy density boost. Farasis Energy, a ...

Batteries are omnipresent, making it hard to picture modern life without them. Throughout the world, the rechargeable batteries market value has seen a quick increase over the past few years. This has ...

Last June, we told you about how Na-ion batteries could be near with the help of macrocyclic molecules. What that experiment did not overcome was the low energy density of the sodium-ion battery.

While "Dieselgate" is firmly in the past of Volkswagen Group, all of its brands remain highly committed to an all-electric future. On May 4, Porsche purchased $100 million worth of shares in Group 14 ...

Scientists led by the Kunming University of Science and Technology in China have proposed to reuse silicon from discarded solar cells to develop silicon-carbon composite anode materials that could be ...

Historically, making a thin phone meant trading the usual battery for one that's slimmer and less robust. And what good is a thin phone with poor battery life? Up-and-coming silicon-carbon battery ...

Scientists in Korea have developed an efficient synthesis route to produce a novel co-doped anode material for rechargeable seawater batteries. They developed a one-step plasma-in-liquid process to ...

The development of inert anodes represents a significant leap forward in the evolution of aluminum electrolysis, promising a reduction in carbon emissions and an improved environmental footprint for ...

Today, most rechargeable batteries are lithium-ion batteries, which are made from relatively scarce elements--this calls for the development of batteries using alternative materials. In a new study, ...

The lithium-ion battery is the future of sustainable energy technology, but drastic volume fluctuations in their anodes related to enhanced battery capacity raises a safety concern. Recently, ...
