Graphene supercapacitors are moving from lab curiosity to serious contender for the next wave of electric vehicle energy storage. By pairing the near-instant charging of capacitors with the high ...

Voltage fade has quietly limited some of the most promising lithium-ion cathodes, eroding the energy they can deliver long ...

Trace tungsten dopants stabilize lithium-rich battery cathodes, sharply reducing voltage fade over hundreds of cycles.

Lithium-rich layered oxides (LRLOs) offer exceptionally high capacities but suffer rapid energy loss because of irreversible migration of ...

Japanese vehicle maker Toyota, for the first time, is producing electric vehicle batteries in North America in what used to be agricultural land of North Carolina.

Carbon-supported single-atom catalysts with metal-N moieties are promising for high-performance lithium–sulfur batteries. In a breakthrough, a team of researchers from Chung-Ang University proposes a ...

The Te modulator induces a polarized charge distribution to optimize the electronic structure of the central Fe site, elevating the d-band center and enhancing the density of states near the Fermi ...

A lungful of hydrogen sulfide nearly killed John Burba a few months into his first job in the West Texas oil patch. He’d grown up in the region, where his dad worked for Gulf Oil as a drilling ...

A new battery design could soon make phones last longer, drones fly farther, and electric cars drive longer distances. On Wednesday, researchers at the University of Florida, Purdue University, and ...

Longer-lasting phones, lighter drones, electric cars that drive farther. These are just some of the possibilities thanks to a new battery separator design from University of Florida researchers and ...

A recent study from Harvard Medical School asks whether the element lithium might be a key factor in whether someone develops Alzheimer’s disease. Led by Dr. Bruce Yankner, professor of genetics and ...
