Why 2023 is a breakout year for batteries
And fair enough. These batteries can pack a lot of energy into a relatively small space, they charge and discharge pretty quickly, and they''re getting cheap. But the dominance of lithium-ion ...
Why Is It So Hard to Make Batteries Smaller & Lighter?
The Science Flat coin cell batteries (the kind used in watches) have been around for decades. But the combination of solid and liquid components makes it very hard to see how the components fail ...
Why Tesla''s dream to mass-produce batteries this year is …
Musk admitted that making the batteries at scale will be very difficult, but they are critical to his goal of building less expensive, longer-range electric cars that will keep Tesla ahead of a growing pack of competitors. The new Tesla''s 4680 lithium-ion batteries — 46 ...
What will it take to recycle millions of worn-out EV batteries?

The battery technologies that could power future electric mobility
Currently, Li-ion batteries dominate the rechargeable-battery industry and are widely adopted in various electric mobility technologies. However, new developments across the battery landscape are happening rapidly, with some already on the market. China now has one of the fastest-growing electric vehicle industries in the world. In this …
Why We Don''t Have Battery Breakthroughs
Viking, 2015. LeVine''s account of Envia''s work shows why major progress in batteries is so hard to achieve and why startups that promise world-changing breakthroughs have …
The twelve most promising EV battery innovations
"The best way to predict the future is to create it." So said Abraham Lincoln. Or maybe not.Whoever did say it was on to something, because technology has always shaped the way economies develop. In that spirit, EV inFocus takes a look at the top dozen battery technologies to keep an eye on, as developers look to predict and create …
The promise of batteries that come from trees
As demand for electric vehicles soars, scientists are searching for materials to make sustainable batteries. Lignin, from waste paper pulp, is shaping up to be a strong contender. In 2015, a few ...
Why Is It So Hard to Make Batteries Smaller and Lighter?
Lithium batteries using metal anodes could make future batteries smaller and lighter, but these batteries have limited rechargeability and safety concerns. One theory was that the lithium formed tough spikes ("dendrites") that …
How to build a better battery through nanotechnology
Making leaps in battery technology is surprisingly hard to do. Even as Silicon Valley''s primary innovation, the computer chip, has made exponential performance gains for decades, batteries have lagged. Today''s best …
