What determines the cycle life of batteries? And, more importantly, how can we extend it? An international research team has discovered that local disorder in the oxide cathode material increases the ...

However, Li-ion batteries face performance and longevity challenges. Capacity loss stems from side reactions at the electrode–electrolyte interface, reducing cycle life. Thermal instability and ...

Compared with traditional batteries, Diamond solid-state li-ion battery achieves both safety and performance improvement, which features high energy density, high discharge rate and high safety ...

Lithium- (Li-) based products have risen significantly in market acceptance over various energy storage applications because of their superior capacity and lighter mass. Today, several differing ...

Microchip has expanded its analog power-management family with the addition of the MCP73831 battery charger—a fully integrated, single-cell, Li-Ion/Li-Polymer ...

Lithium-ion batteries are everywhere, powering everything from consumer electronics to electric vehicles, residential PV storage systems, and, more recently, mitigating curtailment in large-scale wind ...

UK-based Superdielectrics has launched the second-generation version of its polymer battery, the Faraday 2, aimed squarely at residential energy storage. The system is designed as a home-scale ...
