Brittle, microscopic metal filaments called dendrites are now firmly established as a primary driver of lithium-ion and solid-state battery failure, according to a growing body of peer-reviewed ...

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

A research team at the University of Southern Queensland have been awarded a grant to develop eco-friendly ways to recover critical minerals such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, and manganese from used ...

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

New research explores a framework that could be used to advance a crucial part of lithium-ion batteries. Roughly 75% of the ...

WASHINGTON — It may have seemed like a freak accident Thursday when a cellphone exploded at Roosevelt High School, but the number of fires and injuries involving a lithium-ion battery has been growing ...

From vape pens to AirPods and toys, so many of the electronic products we use today are powered with lithium batteries, and when they are not disposed of properly, they can be a fire danger. A 2021 ...

Hollow carbon nanoreactors with sub-nanometer wall pores trap chlorine complexes inside lithium-chlorine battery cathodes, enabling record capacity and current density.
