Lithium-ion batteries aren't going away any time soon, at least for the next decade or so. Scientists have been well aware of the safety and sustainability risks associated with lithium-ion ...

Even though they're widely used, lithium-ion batteries have their share of problems and disadvantages.These imperfections and constant strives for innovation have led subsequent creations like the ...

Lithium-ion batteries are miraculous. They’re strong enough to run a vehicle, and they can be recharged at any outlet. Their commercial debut, in 1991, and popularization over the next two ...

Lithium-ion batteries allowed EVs to finally become viable for the masses. They can store a lot of energy in a relatively ...

Lithium-iron-phosphate batteries feature a wider temperature range, between -4 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit, compared to the typical operating range of 32 to 113 degrees Fahrenheit in lithium-ion ...

Lithium-ion batteries sparked 60 fires across the five boroughs between Jan. 1 and May 3 of 2022, according to the FDNY. City data shows it represents a 233% increase from the same period in 2021 ...

Lithium-ion batteries today are nearly ubiquitous, powering everything from cell phones to laptops. Small wonder, then, that scientists are continually trying to develop safer and more ...

After decades of lithium-ion batteries dominating the market, a new option has emerged: batteries made with sodium ions. Scientists have been researching alternatives to lithium for years. Much of ...

Lithium-sulfur batteries, by contrast, could operate more or less the same way that current lithium-ion batteries do. With a few major exceptions, that is.

Lithium-ion batteries can range from about 180 to nearly 300 watt-hours per kilogram. I asked Srinivasan what he makes of CATL’s claim of a sodium-ion battery with 200 watt-hours per kilogram.

Lithium Defined. We are focused on batteries using lithium-­iron-phosphate (LiFePO4) chemistry, not the smaller lithium-­ion batteries found in phones and computers. LiFePO4 batteries can hold much ...
