The growing demand for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in electric vehicles and energy storage systems poses risks to raw material supply. Recycling end-of-life LIBs is critical to supporting the future ...

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 ...

A recent article published in Communications Materials proposed a Li 2 S-based cathode composite with a three-dimensional (3D) ion/electron-conducting structure. Mechanically reinforced with carbon ...

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 ...

In 2020, Tesla announced a breakthrough battery that would be much cheaper to produce while offering higher energy density thanks to new technologies like dry cathode coating and silicone anode.
