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 ...

This video explores the impact of nanotechnology on lithium mining and battery production, addressing the rising demand for lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles and renewable energy storage. It ...

Lithium metal batteries promise dramatically higher energy density than today’s lithium-ion systems, yet their widespread use remains limited by unstable lithium deposition, dendrite growth, and rapid ...

In chemistry, some problems are so persistent that they are nicknamed “forever.” Perfluoroalkyl and ...

For DIYers and pros alike, upgrading from corded to cordless power tools means more freedom, less hassle, and little maintenance. But as convenient as these power tools are, they use lithium-ion ...

Scientists in Germany have analyzed the thermal runaway behavior of sodium-ion batteries and lithium-ion batteries inside a 10-L reaction vessel. They have thermally abused 30 samples, each under a ...
