Lithium-metal anode-free batteries promise higher energy density and longevity, but their biggest problem is the dendrites that form inside the battery and ruin it. QuantumScape claims it solved this ...

Cathodes play a dominant role in defining cell energy density, and also make up a significant proportion of cell costs, due to the use of high-cost metals such as cobalt, nickel and lithium. Standard ...

Could an electric vehicle travel from Seoul to Busan and back on a single charge? Could drivers stop worrying about battery performance even in winter? A Korean research team has taken a major step ...

I have been following Our Next Energy (ONE) as closely as possible after the company achieved something extraordinary. It made a Model S equipped with its Gemini battery pack run 752 miles (1,210 ...

NEO Battery Materials, based in Canada, has reached a major milestone in its quest to develop an electric vehicle (EV) battery that can achieve a 1,000-mile range. The company’s advanced silicon EV ...

Stanford University researchers found that the best way to extend the life of a lithium-metal EV battery is to drain it and let it rest for a few hours. The study, “Resting restores performance of ...

While electric vehicles (EVs) have become increasingly popular in recent years, some people may be hesitant to switch to EVs due to concerns about their limited driving range compared to ...

Atlantic storm Isha blew through Sint-Truiden, Belgium, a town 65 km from Brussels—and the headquarters of the battery start-up Solithor—earlier this year, knocking over bicycles and motorbikes.

As more and more Americans embrace electric vehicles, automakers and the federal government are racing to secure the materials needed to build EV batteries, including by pouring billions of dollars ...

A study team created a prototype calcium (Ca) metal rechargeable battery that can withstand 500 cycles of repeated charge-discharge—the practical limit. Schematic of a prototype Ca metal battery. The ...
