A battery consists of one or more voltaic cells. Each voltaic cell consists of two half cells. Negatively charged anions migrate to the anode (negative electrode) in one half-cell, while positively ...

In developing a versatile new electrolyte, a team of University of Wisconsin–Madison engineers has taken the next step toward a more efficient, energy-dense battery that could supplant today's ...

Researchers at Sandia National Laboratories in New Mexico and the US Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwestern Laboratory are the first to observe how a nanobattery operates in real time using ...

(Nanowerk News) Lithium ion batteries find wide applications in everyday use objects, but the number of ions that can be stored in their graphite anodes is limited. One solution is the silicon-based ...

A Stanford team, led by the battery master himself -- Yi Cui -- has developed a new lithium-ion battery electrode that still works at 85% capacity after 6,000 charge/discharge cycles, compared to ...
