Researchers at Tohoku University have unearthed a means to stabilize lithium or sodium depositions in rechargeable batteries, helping keep their metallic structure intact. The discovery prevents potential battery degradation and short circuiting, and paves the way for higher energy-density metal-anode batteries. Courtesy of Tohoku University Scientists are ever-seeking to develop safer, higher-capacity, and faster-charging rechargeable […]

Clues to Better Batteries — X-ray technique reveals irregularities and dead spots arise due to incomplete lithium stripping from anode during battery discharge. UPTON, NY — Pure lithium metal is a promising replacement for the graphite-based anodes currently used in electric vehicle batteries. It could tremendously reduce battery weights and dramatically extend the driving range […]
