Published Battery tech breakthrough paves way for mass adoption of affordable electric car


A breakthrough in electric vehicle battery design has enabled a 10-minute charge time for a typical EV battery. This is a record-breaking combination of a shorter charge time and more energy acquired for longer travel range.
Published The battery that runs 630 km on a single charge


A research team succeeds in developing anode-free Li batteries with maximized energy density, improving energy density by 40%.
Published Scientists develop inexpensive device that can harvest energy from a light breeze and store it as electricity


Scientists have developed a low-cost device that can harness energy from wind as gentle as a light breeze and store it as electricity.
Published Seaweed-based battery powers confidence in sustainable energy storage


A team uses nanomaterials made from seaweed to create a strong battery separator, paving the way for greener and more efficient energy storage.
Published More reasons to go solar when gearing up for a greener drive


With electric vehicles sales soaring worldwide, potential buyers are not just weighing up the price tag, but also the logistics and expense of charging the planet-friendly cars. A new study shows households with solar panels and batteries will be the big winners.
Published Magnetic field helps thick battery electrodes tackle electric vehicle challenges


As electric vehicles grow in popularity, the spotlight shines more brightly on some of their remaining major issues. Researchers are tackling two of the bigger challenges facing electric vehicles: limited range and slow recharging.
Published Cobalt-free cathode for lithium-ion batteries


Researchers offer a new mixture of metallic elements to serve as lithium-ion cathodes. This 'high-entropy doping strategy' is part of an effort to remove cobalt -- and expensive and geopolitically problematic mineral -- from LI batteries.
Published High-accuracy electric vehicle battery monitoring with diamond quantum sensors for driving range extension


The issue of battery usage inefficiency in electric vehicles resulting from an inaccurate battery charge measurement may finally get resolved, thanks to a diamond quantum sensor prototype. The sensor can measure currents in a wide range as well as detect milliampere-level currents in a noisy environment, improving the detection accuracy from 10% to within 1%.
Published Robo-bug: A rechargeable, remote-control cyborg cockroach


Researchers have engineered a system for creating remote controlled cyborg cockroaches, equipped with a tiny wireless control module that is powered by a rechargeable battery attached to a solar cell. This achievement will help make the use of cyborg insects a practical reality.
Published A sustainable battery with a biodegradable electrolyte made from crab shells


Accelerating demand for renewable energy and electric vehicles is sparking a high demand for the batteries that store generated energy and power engines. But the batteries behind these sustainability solutions aren't always sustainable themselves. Scientists have now create a zinc battery with a biodegradable electrolyte from an unexpected source -- crab shells.
Published A new concept for low-cost batteries



Engineers have designed a battery made from inexpensive, abundant materials, that could provide low-cost backup storage for renewable energy sources. Less expensive than lithium-ion battery technology, the new architecture uses aluminum and sulfur as its two electrode materials with a molten salt electrolyte in between.
Published New stable quantum batteries can reliably store energy into electromagnetic fields



Researchers have proposed that the micromasers can serve as excellent model for future quantum batteries.
