A new design could pack more energy and last longer than others of its kind Lithium-oxygen cells are made of two electrodes, an anode and a cathode, separated by a substance called electrolyte. When ...

A new kind of lithium-oxygen battery, using glass nanoparticles of lithium oxides, could provide more energy, and much better stability and energy efficiency, report scientists. Lithium-air batteries ...

Scientists have created a battery whose technology in principle could power electric cars and other energy-hungry devices far better than current lithium-ion batteries, but it remains years away from ...

If you’re reading this with a rechargeable battery powered appliance, the chances are it’s a lithium-ion battery based on intercalation chemistry. But with increasing demands for higher energy density ...

Boasting an energy density similar to that of gasoline, lithium-air (or lithium-oxygen) batteries may one day prove the panacea for the range-anxiety associated with electric vehicles. But first there ...

Relay Orbital Hybridization Boosts Lithium–Oxygen Battery Catalysis. Schematic illustration of phosphorus-doped MnMoO₄ hollow nanospheres enabling “relay orbital hybridization.” Internal Mo–P orbital ...

TESTING A NEW LITHIUM BATTERY CONCEPT: A discharged carbon cathode viewed through scanning electron microscopy by a team of researchers from Boston College and the Technical University of Denmark. The ...

Current lithium batteries are based on intercalation—lithium ions squeeze into spaces within electrode materials such as graphite. As a result, most of the battery’s volume and bulk is dedicated to ...

Researchers have designed a new lithium-air battery that works in a natural-air environment and still functioned after a record-breaking 750 charge/discharge cycles. Researchers at the University of ...
