Batteries based on sodium ions are entering mass production. Some researchers say they could ultimately be a cheaper, safer ...

Despite lithium-ion batteries powering 70 percent of rechargeable devices, issues with environmentally damaging extraction and China's control over supply chains are pushing for alternatives.

Anyone who cared to read my texts recently knows how worried I am about the durability of battery packs. After all, if they fail for any reason, the battery electric vehicles (BEVs) that they power ...

Lithium sits at the center of the battery economy. Yet getting it out of rock still looks surprisingly crude. Spodumene, the world’s most common lithium-bearing hard rock, is usually blasted with heat ...

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 ...

A factory in Sacramento will be first in the country to make a new alternative to lithium-ion at commercial scale.

Laid out left to right to illustrate notable steps in the process of lithium battery recycling are: a pair of lithium iron phosphate batteries; a container of black mass powder obtained from shredding ...

When Milwaukee Tools debuted the first rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery in the 1990s, it proved a legitimately game-changing advancement that dramatically reduced the need for gasoline to power many ...
