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 ...

Lithium-ion batteries power everything from phones to e-bikes and electric cars, but when they fail, they can ignite, explode and burn for hours. That risk was ...

Just a few years ago, the battery industry was hot, hot, hot. There was a seemingly infinite number of companies popping up, ...

Scientists have captured the first-ever measurements of needlelike microscopic metal structures as they grow in lithium-ion ...

Evercore ISI discussed solid-state battery firm QuantumScape Corporation (NASDAQ:QS)’s shares in late February.

Two separate Chinese efforts are touting advances in solid-state (and hybrid solid-state) electric-vehicle batteries, including test-vehicle range claims above 1,000 kilometers on a single charge. One ...

Lithium-ion batteries are highly efficient, dissipating less than 10% of their energy as heat during operation. However, they require thermal management systems to regulate this heat, as it can ...

One woman died and two are in hospital after a fire tore through a New Jersey home in February. But the cause was suspected to be a common item found in most households — one that many may not realize ...

Lithium-ion batteries power a host of everyday electronics, but they can also be a fire hazard. Here are some key warning ...

Oxford researchers have found a way to visualize one of the most hidden — yet critical — components inside lithium-ion batteries. By tagging polymer binders with traceable markers, they revealed how ...

Starting just outside Charlotte, North Carolina, a vast underground deposit of lithium stretches south for 25 miles. A key component of rechargeable batteries and energy grid storage systems, the soft ...
