Solid-state batteries could store more energy and charge faster than today’s batteries, but they tend to crack and fail over ...

Crucially, the silver remained in its positively charged ionic form rather than becoming metallic again. The researchers ...

A solid—rather than liquid—electrolyte between the opposite electrodes of a battery should, in theory, enable a rechargeable ...

Scientists in South Korea have discovered a way to make all-solid-state batteries safer and more powerful using inexpensive ...

Batteries are an essential technology in modern society, powering smartphones and electric vehicles, yet they face ...

Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have achieved a breakthrough on the path to practical application of lithium ...

Lithium-metal batteries are garnering attention as the next-generation high-energy battery expected to replace existing lithium-ion batteries. However, commercialization has been difficult due to the ...

Artistic representation of a helical peptide polymer electrolyte with the macrodipole indicated by an arrow with positive and negative charges. Solid-state electrolytes have been explored for decades ...

Lithium may be the key component in most modern batteries, but it doesn’t make up the bulk of the material used in them. Instead, much of the material is in the electrodes, where the lithium gets ...

Ceramic electrolytes in all-solid-state batteries have gained significant attention as the next-generation power source. Researchers are particularly interested in solid-state batteries due to their ...
