New research from MIT could shed light on the inner workings of a new type of lithium ion battery, for the first time showing scientists why exactly it performs so well.

A team led by molecular chemist Ying Zhang from the Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of Chemistry recently developed a ...

Rechargeable Li-ion batteries can operate for thousands of cycles of full charge and discharge. For each cycle, they can also store a much higher amount of charge than an AA or AAA battery.

Lithium Batteries: How Do Rechargeable Batteries Work? Over 350 million rechargeable batteries are sold in the United States every year. They are a major part of the battery industry and modern life.

With 45% of solar customers saying yes to home batteries last year, the big question isn't whether or not to get one – it's ...

Battery firm Sila Nanotechnologies has claimed it can boost EV range up to 20% with its silicon anode tech. But silicon can also expand and contract significantly as it absorbs and dissipates lithium.

Lithium-ion batteries have the greatest energy density per unit mass of any solid-state battery chemistry, up to 1.6 kilowatt-hours per kilogram. They're also usually rechargeable.

If your Li-ion powered device is running out of juice on a daily basis, you're decreasing its overall useful lifespan, and should probably work some charging stations into your day or change your ...

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences on Wednesday awarded the 2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry to three scientists who developed lithium-ion batteries, which have revolutionized portable electronics ...

Despite being 94 years old, John B. Goodenough, a professor at The University of Texas at Austin who is known as the co-inventor of the lithium-ion battery, is still working hard.
