Underlying this innovation is a deceptively easy question: Why has graphite, a material with limited energy storage, ruled lithium ion battery anodes for so many decades? The reason is graphite’s ...

Cathodes play a dominant role in defining cell energy density, and also make up a significant proportion of cell costs, due to the use of high-cost metals such as cobalt, nickel and lithium. Standard ...

Could an electric vehicle travel from Seoul to Busan and back on a single charge? Could drivers stop worrying about battery ...

A lithium-ion battery may have fewer parts than a combustion engine, but it's no less complex. It involves an intricate interplay of materials that influences an electric vehicle’s range, charging ...

Anode – Typically made of reactive materials like lithium or zinc, the anode undergoes oxidation, releasing electrons. Cathode – A material capable of accepting electrons, the cathode undergoes ...
