Researchers have pioneered a technique to observe the 3D internal structure of rechargeable batteries for the first time. This opens up a wide range of areas for the new technique from energy ...

Lithium-polymer battery technology is newer than lithium-ion. It didn’t appear on the scene until the 1970s and has only made its way into smartphones much more recently.

China maintains significant control across the battery supply chain, including 60% to 90% of global mineral processing for lithium, nickel, and cobalt, according to a recent report from the U.S ...

An individual lithium-ion cell is comprised of an intercalating (i.e. inserting between layers in a structure) lithium compound cathode, a carbon based (typically graphite) anode, as well as a ...

Dr. Jungdon Suk’s team (Advanced Battery Research Center) at the Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology (KRICT) has successfully transferred hybrid protective layers composed of solid ...

The growing popularity of lithium-ion batteries in recent years has put a strain on the world's supply of cobalt and nickel -- two metals integral to current battery designs -- and sent prices ...

Lithium-Polymer, or Li-Po refers to a lithium-ion battery that uses a polymer electrolyte instead of a liquid electrolyte. This enables the construction of pouch cells with different geometries.
