For decades, lithium-ion batteries have powered our phones, laptops, and electric vehicles. But lithium’s limited supply and ...

But soon, prices crashed back down to earth. We saw lower-than-expected demand for EVs in the US, and developers ramped up mining and processing to meet demand. Through late 2024 and 2025, lithium ...

China’s lithium batteries aren’t always “made in China.” Companies like BYD and CATL are building factories on nearly every ...

What we see is sobering. In our simulations, electrodes can fracture during the deep freeze of a lunar night. Under direct ...

By 2050, sodium-ion batteries with fast learning rates could deliver storage at 11–14 €/MWh – cheaper than lithium-ion at 16–22 €/MWh – while also offering higher energy-to-power ratios and high cycle ...

A new generation of sodium-ion (Na-ion) battery cells has been launched as an alternative to the virtual monopoly of lithium-ion (Li-ion). Although the technology is unlikely to displace significant ...

If you’re considering installing solar panels at home, you’ve likely come across solar batteries, which are large lithium-ion packs that store excess power for when the sun isn’t shining. Using the ...
