Technique could reduce costs of battery development. Article courtesy of Argonne National Laboratory. By Jared Sagoff Imagine a psychic telling your parents, on the day you were born, how long you would live. A similar experience is possible for battery chemists who are using new computational models to calculate battery lifetimes based on as little as […]

Researchers uncover new avenue for overcoming the performance decline that occurs with repeated charge-discharge cycling in the cathodes of next generation batteries. Battery-powered vehicles have made a significant dent in the transportation market. But that market still needs lower cost batteries that can power vehicles for greater ranges. Also desirable are low-cost batteries able to store on […]

Clues to Better Batteries — X-ray technique reveals irregularities and dead spots arise due to incomplete lithium stripping from anode during battery discharge. UPTON, NY — Pure lithium metal is a promising replacement for the graphite-based anodes currently used in electric vehicle batteries. It could tremendously reduce battery weights and dramatically extend the driving range […]
