Researchers have uncovered the mechanical properties of the nanoscale "thorns" that develop inside lithium-ion batteries, which can cause them to short circuit and die – or worse, such as ...
Dr. Jung-Je Woo from the Gwangju Clean Energy Research Center at the Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER), along with Professor Jaephil Cho's research team from Ulsan National Institute of ...
This study is led by Prof. Chuan Wu. Serving as one of the most promising candidates among multivalent metal batteries, rechargeable aluminum batteries (RABs) are endowed with various advantages ...
Researchers at Empa and EPFL have reported a stretchable, silicone-based solid electrolyte aimed at addressing a persistent problem in next-generation lithium-metal batteries: the tendency of rigid ...
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 ...
These issues often stem from material limitations, including poor ion transport, unstable electrode interfaces, and dendrite formation in metal-based anodes. Overcoming these barriers requires ...
In a recent study published in Small, researchers introduced a three-dimensional, freestanding porous carbon nanofiber (PCNF) structure embedded with silicon oxide (SiOx), designed to address critical ...
