Scientists say they have observed how the instability of vanadium disulfide in lithium-ion batteries occurs and claim to have solved the problem by applying a nanolayered titanium disulfide coating.

(Nanowerk News) Creating a lithium-ion battery that can charge in a matter of minutes but still operate at a high capacity is possible, according to research from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute just ...

(Nanowerk News) Magnesium batteries offer promise for safely powering modern life -- unlike traditional lithium ion batteries, they are not flammable or subject to exploding -- but their ability to ...

A team of scientists from Pakistan, Ireland, Saudi Arabia, and South Korea has published a new paper on the usefulness of TiC MXene (titanium carbide MXene) cathodes in proposed lithium-air batteries.

In the quest for a radically better lithium-ion battery, a promising direction is the so-called “lithium-rich” cathode, in which the cathode contains a higher proportion of lithium than normal. While ...
