Toward Batteries that Pack Twice as Much Energy per Pound. In the endless quest to pack more energy into batteries without increasing their weight or volume, one especially promising technology is the solid-state battery. In these batteries, the usual liquid electrolyte that carries charges...
Princeton Startup Aims to Fast-track Lithium Battery Recycling. Billions of dead lithium-ion batteries, including many from electric vehicles, are accumulating because there is no cost-effective process to revive them. Now, Princeton researchers have developed an inexpensive, sustainable way to...
Stanford Scientists Combine AI and Atomic-scale Images in Pursuit of Better Batteries. Collaborators at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, MIT and other research institutions used artificial intelligence to analyze new kinds of atomic-scale microscopic images to understand exactly why...
Revitalizing Batteries by Bringing 'Dead' Lithium Back to Life. Researchers at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University may have found a way to revitalize rechargeable lithium batteries, potentially boosting the range of electric vehicles and...
Sembcorp Energy UK Announces Plans to Build Europe’s Largest Battery Storage System on Teesside Sembcorp Energy UK announced on 14th December plans to build Europe’s largest battery energy storage system to help the UK achieve its Net Zero target. SEUK currently operates 70MW of batteries,...
Scientists Identify Another Reason Why Batteries Can’t Charge in Minutes. In new research from the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory, scientists have found interesting chemical behaviour of one of the battery’s two terminals as the battery is charged and discharged....
Sodium-based Material Yields Stable Alternative to Lithium-ion Batteries. University of Texas at Austin researchers have created a new sodium-based battery material that is highly stable, capable of recharging as quickly as a traditional lithium-ion battery and able to pave the way toward...
Researchers Use AI to Optimize Several Flow Battery Properties Simultaneously. For researchers working on flow batteries, their chief concern involves finding target molecules that offer the ability to both store a lot of energy and remain stable for long periods of time. To find the right flow...
New Method Recovers Cobalt and Nickel from NMC Batteries. The method, developed by a team led by University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign chemical and biomolecular engineering professor Xiao Su, is said to produce final product purities of approximately 96.4% and 94.1% for cobalt and nickel,...
Technology Minerals' Recyclus Partners with Slicker Recycling to Launch Battery Recycling Initiative. A new battery recycling plant is to open in the UK. The plant is planning to recycle lithium ion batteries, which at the present have to be exported, as well as recycling the more traditional...
