MIT's prototype liquid sodium fuel cell doesn't rival fossil fuels in raw energy terms, but it does outclass lithium-ion: the ...

The role of China clay is quietly evolving from that of a bulk industrial filler to a strategic raw material in the era of ...

The origin of lithium (Li), the third element of the periodic table, has long been shrouded in mystery. This element, ...

Scientists have designed a fuel cell they say could offer three times as much energy per unit of weight as lithium-ion ...

These devices could pack three times as much energy per pound as today’s best EV batteries, offering a lightweight option for ...

Researchers at TUM have developed a new material for solid-state batteries. Solid-state batteries are seen as a game-changer ...

Engineers developed a fuel cell that offers more than three times as much energy per pound compared to lithium-ion batteries. Powered by a reaction between sodium metal and air, the device could be ...

Researchers have resolved a long-standing challenge in high-Ni cathode materials, a key component of next-generation electric ...

There are two main reasons. First, lithium-ion batteries contain highly flammable components, which means that overheating, physical abuse, or short-circuiting can make them catch fire. Second, ...

Batteries are nearing their limits in terms of how much power they can store for a given weight. That's a serious obstacle ...

Fuel cells powered with the metal could provide a new source of electric power that's far more energy-dense than lithium-ion ...
