The work, led by Chunsheng Wang at the University of Maryland, offers a relatively simple way to make lithium-ion batteries more durable using standard materials and ...

However, Li-ion batteries face performance and longevity challenges. Capacity loss stems from side reactions at the electrode–electrolyte interface, reducing cycle life. Thermal instability and ...

Compared with traditional batteries, Diamond solid-state li-ion battery achieves both safety and performance improvement, which features high energy density, high discharge rate and high safety ...

Intersil Corporation (NASDAQ Global Select: ISIL), a world leader in the design and manufacture of high-performance analog semiconductors, has introduced the ISL9214, a fully integrated low-cost ...

UK-based Superdielectrics has launched the second-generation version of its polymer battery, the Faraday 2, aimed squarely at residential energy storage. The system is designed as a home-scale ...

Lithium-ion batteries are everywhere, powering everything from consumer electronics to electric vehicles, residential PV storage systems, and, more recently, mitigating curtailment in large-scale wind ...

Batteries used in smartphones or in EVs normally charge for 10 hours on their first cycle, but turbo-charging them to 100% capacity in 20 minutes may lead to a 50% longer lifespan. When you purchase ...

Microchip has expanded its analog power-management family with the addition of the MCP73831 battery charger—a fully integrated, single-cell, Li-Ion/Li-Polymer ...
