A new type of lithium-oxygen battery could pack more energy and last longer than its predecessors. Lithium-oxygen cells are made of two electrodes, an anode and a cathode, separated by a substance ...

Hydrogenated borophene with cobalt nickel compounds enables stable lithium hydroxide chemistry in water, activating oxygen ...

CAMBRIDGE, Mass -- Lithium-air batteries are considered highly promising technologies for electric cars and portable electronic devices because of their potential for delivering a high energy output ...

The development of aprotic lithium-oxygen (Li-O 2) batteries with ultra-high theoretical specific energies has been severely hindered by sluggish reaction kinetics and undesired parasitic reactions.

If you’re reading this with a rechargeable battery powered appliance, the chances are it’s a lithium-ion battery based on intercalation chemistry. But with increasing demands for higher energy density ...

On paper, it doesn’t seem like Christopher Wolverton’s super lithium-rich battery should work. For one, the novel battery uses iron, an inexpensive metal that has notoriously failed in batteries. And ...

The high theoretical-energy density of lithium-oxygen (Li-O2) batteries and their relatively light weight have made them the Holy Grail of rechargeable battery systems. But long-standing issues with ...

Boasting an energy density similar to that of gasoline, lithium-air (or lithium-oxygen) batteries may one day prove the panacea for the range-anxiety associated with electric vehicles. But first there ...

A new kind of lithium-oxygen battery, using glass nanoparticles of lithium oxides, could provide more energy, and much better stability and energy efficiency, report scientists. Lithium-air batteries ...
