Chemistry researchers are hoping to spark a green battery revolution by showing that iron instead of cobalt and nickel can be used as a cathode material in lithium-ion batteries. A collaboration ...

The world's electric grids are creaking under the pressure of volatile fossil-fuel prices and the imperative of weaning the world off polluting energy sources. A solution may be at hand, thanks to an ...

Salt batteries are starting to shake the market, and though most “salt batteries” don’t use the salt in your salt shaker, ...

They recover lithium from used batteries with a purity of 99.79% and simplify solid-state batteries, promoting the safety of ...

The number of wind farms in the U.K. has more than quadrupled since 2010. But last year, when a “wind drought” over more than a week meant that it was suddenly much less windy than usual, the country ...

The ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine has shone a stark light on existing supply shortages for vital metals for lithium ion batteries, the dominant chemistry in electric vehicles ...

Researchers in the United States have recovered lithium from battery waste using an electrochemically driven recovery process. Lithium is a critical element used in rechargeable batteries and ...

A report from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) notes that while it is still uncertain whether sodium-ion batteries will become a disruptive alternative to lithium-ion technology, they ...

But the market research firm Benchmark Mineral Intelligence warns of hype surrounding sodium-ion. The company estimates that ...
