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 ...

Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have achieved a breakthrough on the path to practical application of lithium metal all-solid-state batteries—the next generation of batteries that can ...

Lithium-metal batteries are a promising technology, but they are still years away from making the leap from the lab to the production line. CATL announced a breakthrough that allowed it to double the ...

Stanford University has addressed the brittleness problem of electrolytes in solid-state battery technology. The ...

While lithium extraction technologies generally focus on ways to get the essential metal out of the ground, there's another source to mine: existing batteries that no longer work. A new technique ...

Nikesh Kooverjee has been contributing to the automotive sphere for 11 years. His previous roles include Digital Editor at CAR South Africa and associate editor at CarBuzz. He has always had a strong ...

Researchers now have a clearer picture of the chemical mechanisms underlying lithium-ion batteries—and it could lead to faster, more efficient batteries for electric vehicles, portable electronics, ...

But soon, prices crashed back down to earth. We saw lower-than-expected demand for EVs in the US, and developers ramped up mining and processing to meet demand. Through late 2024 and 2025, lithium ...
