Less may be more in next-gen batteries
24-Jan-2020
The process of developing better rechargeable batteries may be cloudy, but there's an alumina lining. A slim layer of the metal oxide applied to common cathodes by engineers at Rice University's Brown School of Engineering revealed new phenomena that could lead to batteries that are better geared ...
Not so fast: Some batteries can be pushed too far
Scientists find overabundance of intentional defects can cause battery cathodes to fail
16-Jan-2020
Intentional defects in batteries have given Rice University scientists a window into the hazards of pushing lithium-ion cells too far. New simulations by Rice materials scientist Ming Tang and graduate student Kaiqi Yang, detailed in the Journal of Materials Chemistry A, shows too much stress in ...
A new method to study lithium dendrites could lead to better, safer batteries
14-Jan-2020
Lithium ion batteries often grow needle-like structures between electrodes that can short out the batteries and sometimes cause fires. Now, an international team of researchers has found a way to grow and observe these structures to understand ways to stop or prevent their appearance. "It is ...
Highly promising solid electrolytes for high-performance lithium-ion batteries
09-Jan-2020
High-performance, long-lasting energy storage devices are crucially important for many future-oriented technologies: e.g. for electromobility, for mobile end devices such as tablets and smartphones as well as for the efficient use of energy from renewable sources. Dr. Daniel Mutter from the ...
Nobel Prize for Chemistry 2019 for the development of lithium-ion batteries
09-Oct-2019
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2019 to John B. Goodenough (The University of Texas at Austin, USA), M. Stanley Whittingham (Binghamton University, State University of New York, USA) and Akira Yoshino (Asahi Kasei Corporation, Tokyo, Japan ...
WACKER Acquires a Stake in UK Battery Materials Specialist Nexeon
13-Sep-2019
Wacker Chemie AG is intensifying its research activities on silicon-based materials for high-performance batteries by taking a holding in Nexeon Ltd. The Munich-based chemical company announced that it is acquiring a 25 percent stake in the UK specialist for new battery materials. WACKER and ...
Eramet, BASF and SUEZ partner to develop an innovative closed-loop process for the recycling of lithium-ion batteries
12-Sep-2019
The “Recycling Li-ion batteries for electric Vehicle” (ReLieVe) project, founded by Eramet, BASF and SUEZ,will receive a substantial funding of €4.7 million by EIT Raw Materials, a consortium initiated and funded by the European Union, and the three members. The objective is to develop an ...
Porous silicon layers for more efficient lithium-ion batteries
06-Sep-2019
The Fraunhofer FEP has developed coating processes for industry for several years. Recently in the project PoSiBat, Fraunhofer FEP scientists were able to develop a non-toxic and efficient manufacturing process for porous silicon layers. The results of the recently completed project will be ...
Overcome the bottleneck of solid electrolytes for Li batteries
Chinese scientists developed an atom-to-atom strategy
03-Sep-2019
MA Cheng from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) and his collaborators proposed an effective strategy to address the electrode-electrolyte contact issue that is limiting the development of next-generation solid-state Li batteries. The solid-solid composite electrode created ...
Battery Production at Record Speed
06-Aug-2019
With a new coating process, researchers of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have produced electrodes for lithium-ion batteries at record speed. At the same time, the new process improves the quality of electrodes and reduces production costs. When producing electrodes for batteries, ...
