An ingredient in crab shells can be used as key components of batteries, resulting in an experimental device that's two-thirds biodegradable.

The future of the decarbonised society depends upon the discovery and design of next-generation batteries. Interdisciplinary research is vital to making that future a reality Electrifying our ...

Battery researchers at the University of California-Irvine replace an expensive ingredient with a cheap one and see intriguing promise.

We're going "Back to School" today, revisiting a classic at-home experiment that turns lemons into batteries — powerful enough to turn on a clock or a small lightbulb. But how does the science ...

Lithium-ion batteries with recycled cathodes can outperform batteries with cathodes made from pristine materials, lasting for thousands of additional charging cycles, a study finds.

Researchers has reported that a new lithium-sulfur battery component allows a doubling in capacity compared to a conventional lithium-sulfur battery, even after more than 100 charge cycles.

Chinese researchers have found a way to make aqueous batteries more energy-dense, by adding bromide to the electrolyte solution ...
