Another key reason CATL, BYD, and others are investing in sodium-ion batteries is to mitigate rising lithium prices. Sodium ...

Lithium metal batteries promise dramatically higher energy density than today’s lithium-ion systems, yet their widespread use ...

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 ...

A rechargeable battery technology introduced in 1991 that provides greater charge per pound than nickel metal hydride. In 1993, Toshiba introduced the first notebook in the U.S. with a Li-ion battery.

Lithium. While it’s not quite “the Spice” of Dune, the silvery, reactive metal is an extraordinarily valuable means for storing electricity, meaning it’s a key tool for transitioning from ...

Whether it’s to keep the lights on after a natural disaster or just to avoid peak energy rates, more people than ever are adding battery energy storage to their home solar systems. With some 45% of ...

An innovative approach to battery materials could bring sodium-ion energy density and charging speeds far closer to those of ...
