Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University’s Mellon College of Science and College of Engineering have developed a semiliquid lithium metal-based anode that represents a new paradigm in battery design. Lithium batteries made using this new electrode type could have a higher capacity and be much safer than typical lithium metal-based batteries that use lithium foil as anode. The interdisciplinary research team

A huge “super battery” will be built on the site of the UK’s largest wind farm, after plans were approved by the Scottish government. It will store power generated by the 215 turbines at Whitelee wind farm on Eaglesham Moor, near Glasgow. Scottish Power, which operates the wind farm, said the battery storage site would be the size of half

Researchers from Skoltech Center for Energy Science and Technology, IPCP RAS and D.I. Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology have designed a new polymer cathode material for ultrafast metal-ion batteries with superior characteristics. The results of this work were published in the Journal of Material Chemistry A. In recent decades, world energy consumption has been increasing significantly due to the population growth,

Lithium-ion batteries power everything from laptops to lawn mowers. But they can ignite when damaged because they rely on flammable components. Now, researchers report they’ve redesigned these batteries to work with nonflammable materials. As a bonus, the new batteries might even store more power than current models. The work is “absolutely remarkable progress,” says Gleb Yushin, a materials scientist at

The objective of the test is to identify the leakage current during the storage. In the test, we will check the remaining capacity, it’s better if the remaining capacity is higher. Step 1. Battery charge according to 7.2 charging procedure and test purpose Step 2. Step 4. Step 6 Or we can combine all the steps together.

The purpose of this test is to identify the battery’s endurance in cycles. In other word,The test objective is to determine the number of times a battery can be used by evaluating it until it deteriorates after repeated cycles of charging and discharging. The standard is on following picture. It’s quite simple to use Neware battery tester to run the cycle

To meet the demands of an electric future, new battery technologies will be essential. One option is lithium sulphur batteries, which offer a theoretical energy density more than five times that of lithium ion batteries. Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, recently unveiled a promising breakthrough for this type of battery, using a catholyte with the help of a
