Solid-state batteries are safer and less-flammable than conventional EV batteries, so why haven't automakers made the switch ...
The basic principle of all li-ion batteries is: li-ions on the run. In a fully charged battery cell, billions of lithium (Li) atoms are trapped in the “anode” porous reservoir, typically a thin sheet ...
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 ...
Update: This article has been updated with a comment from Mercedes-Benz. Just like cars and gadgets, battery technology evolves in phases. Sometimes you get breakthroughs, other times things get ...
