By eliminating "ion traffic jams," researchers have uncovered the hidden potential of hard carbon anodes in sodium-ion ...

The worldwide push for sustainability requires better, more durable batteries to support renewable energy systems and ubiquitous electronic devices.

Researchers have found that electrochemical tuning of Ni-rich cathodes can suppress structural collapse and extend Li-ion ...

A porous polymer membrane separates the anode and the cathode to prevent a short circuit. The electrolyte is the final component, usually a conductive salt solution, that facilitates the transport of ...

Cathodes play a dominant role in defining cell energy density, and also make up a significant proportion of cell costs, due to the use of high-cost metals such as cobalt, nickel and lithium. Standard ...

Lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) remain the most widely used rechargeable batteries worldwide, due to their light weight, high ...

Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are emerging as a sustainable alternative to lithium-ion batteries, thanks to sodium’s abundance and low cost, but their true charging speed remains uncertain due to ...

Researchers at Tokyo University of Science showed that sodium-ion batteries with hard carbon anodes can charge faster than lithium-ion batteries by using a diluted electrode method that reveals sodium ...

SigmaSense has released its onboard Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) semiconductor and software solution.
