Lithium was supposed to be soft. The metal bends easily in bulk form, stretches before it breaks, and deforms the way you ...

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 ...

Lithium dendrites, i.e. tiny crystalline thorns that grow off of lithium-ion battery anodes during charging, have been a ...

For the first time, scientists have observed how tiny metal "thorns" called dendrites sprout inside lithium-ion batteries, ...

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 ...

Chinese scientists have overcome a long-standing limitation of lithium batteries by developing a new component that may lead ...

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

Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are primarily thought of as environmental pollutants, and most research ...

As well as running the risk of being fined, disposing of batteries incorrectly can lead to fires and environmental pollution. Here's how to prevent it.

Based on this new electrolyte system, the team developed an ultra-high specific energy lithium battery with a capacity of 700 watt-hours per kilogram at room temperature. Even in a -50°C environment, ...

Surge Battery Metals Vice President, Commercial Development Steffen Ball joined Angela Harmantas at the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada or PDAC conference in Toronto to share news about ...
