In this, our latest episode of Lexicon, we dive deep into the world of solid-state batteries with Graeme Purdy, CEO and co-founder of Ilika Technologies. With over two decades leading the company from ...

When it comes to pushing the limits of lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, companies are investing the most in new materials and chemistries such as solid-state electrolytes and lithium-metal anodes, or ...

Lithium powers our dreams of a cleaner future. It is the hidden pulse inside electric cars gliding down highways, the quiet ...

Self-discharge is a normally occurring phenomenon in lithium-ion battery cells. A normal cell may have a self-discharge rate of 1% state of charge (SOC) per month. The normal self-discharge rate is ...

Tiny droplets are powering big ideas in science. Researchers have developed a miniature, soft, and flexible lithium-ion battery made from biocompatible hydrogel. This new battery, smaller than a grain ...

Inside the battery, layers of carbon fiber and lithium iron phosphate-coated aluminum are separated by a thin glass fiber fabric. A solid structural electrolyte holds everything together, transferring ...

A fully graphite-free silicon anode has shown stable performance at high temperatures, potentially paving the way for wider applications.

From sodium-ion to the EV slowdown, the battery industry saw breakthroughs, setbacks and everything in between in 2025.

Battery cell layout can reduce risk, but it cannot compensate for deeper engineering and integration failures.

First full aluminum-graphite battery system proves lithium-free, high-power storage is viable for fast grid balancing.
