Lithium-ion batteries are used in smartphones, laptops, electric cars, and stationary energy storage systems. Although their ...

Scientists have found that a thin silver coating can strengthen solid-state lithium batteries, helping prevent cracks and failures.

Researchers now have a clearer picture of the chemical mechanisms underlying lithium-ion batteries—and it could lead to faster, more efficient batteries for electric vehicles, portable electronics, ...

Lithium. While it’s not quite “the Spice” of Dune, the silvery, reactive metal is an extraordinarily valuable means for storing electricity, meaning it’s a key tool for transitioning from ...

Lithium is extracted from brine at Silver Peak, Nevada, currently the only active lithium resource in the U.S. A UC Davis study shows that as demand for lithium grows in coming years, battery ...
