Efficient Li-ion Battery Resists Heat, Works Under Boiling Water

Mila Luleva — Mon, 03 Nov 2014 09:38:51 +0000

Among all limitations of traditional lithium-ion energy storage, flammability is probably the most dangerous. A team of scientists now claim to have developed a heat-resistant technology, which can work safely even under boiling water and still deliver the required energy density. The so-called ‘boiling battery‘ is a product developed by a team from the Semiconductor Energy […]

A discovery made by researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) can eventually make lithium ion batteries cheaper by improving a key process that currently takes a lot of time to complete: filling the batteries with liquid electrolyte. The porous electrodes inside modern rechargeable batteries have to be properly filled with liquid electrolyte. Actually, […]

Lithium-Sulfur Batteries With 5-10 Times Increased Capacity

Cristi — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 19:15:22 +0000

Even if lithium-ion batteries are more known on the market and considered the most reliable, cheap and safe to use, lithium-sulfur batteries are catching up fast. There were several problems reported to the lithium-sulfur batteries but they will be solved in the close future as the capacity of the lithium-sulfur batteries is several times the one of the lithium-ion.
