Batteries have come a long way since Volta first stacked copper and zinc discs together 200 years ago. While the technology has continued to evolve from lead-acid to lithium-ion, many challenges still ...

A way of tracing the origin of lithium could help hold battery producers accountable and ensure that they only use ethical sources for the metal, which is becoming increasingly vital to the global ...

The commercialization of nickel-rich LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 (NMC811) has been hindered by the continuous loss of practical capacity and a reduction in the average working voltage. Performance degradation ...

An international team of collaborators has made the first direct observation of the anionic redox reaction in a lithium-rich battery material. The research opens up pathways for improving existing ...
